Glad we can disagree without sounding too self-important on such a little topic. Sorry if I don't add any silly little icons.
Anyway, glad you like the Border Bottle Boards I posted.
Who in the right mind would question existence of state security “Bottle style” field boards, when they clearly described with pictures in NKVD regulations? Those self proclaimed "experts" just jealous of you. I guess because most people never won lottery or did it once in a life time. You are on other hand hitting jackpot on regular bases. As far as border guards are concern, even naval boarder guards’ shoulder boards were supposed to be “Bottle style”. Despite the fact that nobody have seen real ones yet, photographic evidence proofs that “Bottle style” border guards’ boards were not only on paper.
