Yes, we are probably a selcet few who collect osoaviachim.
A couple of years ago my Russian friend was on a visit at the flat of a collector collegue. My friend knows I like oso-stuff so when he saw a big velvet flag with the osoaviachim symbols hanging on the wall he asked if he could buy it. The other guy laught and said yeah right, of course you can. Nothing happened that time, they were doing some serious trading and my frind forgot the flag. Next time he visit the flag was gone. Where is the flag, my friend asked him. What... you were serious when you wanted osoaviachim stuff, he replied. What can one say.... I guess if it isn't military, "pure military", it's not worth collecting.... :confused: But I do think of that flag sometimes and how nice it would have looked on my wall.
I am sorry to here about the plaque :( I just recently found that thread and liked it a lot. If you find two new ones I am VERY willing to trade you for one. I am sure I can dig up something to trade with.
Good luck in Georgia! I will try to start some threads about paper and badges, so you have something to read about there.
