Thanks for your critique of my collection. I just have a couple questions regarding your comments and some observations of my own.
1) VDV on Green (DShMG): What exactly do you mean by,"Have a look at details of hammer, sickle, star etc."? What is wrong here?
2) I have ГО patches on khaki and grey, with the letters in red and yellow. The CCCP on green was observed by a friend of mine in the '70s & '80s.
3) Like the CCCP on green, the CCCP on cornflower blue was seen, as well.
4) The CD, Medical and Rescue patches exist on red, black, and Maroon. Thanks for the kind comments about the hand-embroidered patches on red. The Medical patch on a magenta/brown/maroon (take your pick) was seen in 1975 and mine is thermal moulded latex on a felt-like base fabric with a khaki cloth backing.
5) It is thermal moulded latex.
6) Yes, I'll post the scans below. I've always had my doubts about the "ВВ" patch.
7) It's also thermal moulded latex.
8) Thanks.
Hello Jim!
I'd like to give you answers to some questions now...
1) Details of all new-made Soviet patches (hammer, sickle, star etc.) are very accurate. Details of hammer, sickle, star at yours VDV on Green are so high accurate made.
2) "ГО" is Civil Defense (as it was told by desantnik), so any colored patches (like "ГО" at green, deep blue, maroon - for "Border Guards", "KGB", "MVD") are impossible!
3) About "СССР" patches I'd like to answer later.
4) "The CD, Medical and Rescue patches exist on red, black, and Maroon. /.../ The Medical patch on a magenta/brown/maroon (take your pick) was seen in 1975 and mine is thermal moulded latex on a felt-like base fabric with a khaki cloth backing". I'd liko to answer to this post later too.
5) Did you mean under "thermal moulded latex" fabric production?
