In 1991 I picked up a couple of cap insignias (genuine) in Budapest but didn't really get interested in Soviet medals & badges until I arrived in Kiev last month. So far, my favorite piece isn't Russian. It's a mint condition 1990 Yugoslavian Border Guard cap emblem. With the help of my Ukrainian translator and shopping partner, I'm sure I'll change that around. I've found two reputable flea market dealers so far and as I'll be in Ukraine for about 3 years, with her help and a slow economy, I hope to pick up some choice pieces.

(If anyone has a recommendation re a good pocket guide to carry around with me - please let me know.)

Thanks, Rob in Kiev
