Same guy, but in summer and facing the other way.
No, better: he's the guy the Soviet border guard is looking at across the border and vice versa.
If you put the two next to each other it feels like you are watching a staring contest.:chuckle
But really, I should have guessed it would say "excellent borderguard." I don't know what else I was expecting. Thanks Patrick.
It's also the first badge I've seen from Hungary. It reminds me that I need to brush up on my Eastern European history since it was basically ignored when I was in school and the Iron Curtain was still up (grad school, I'm not that young).
The enamel work is better than most of the soviet satellites. The star and the banner with the inscription have a good deal of clear depth to them which may be hard to see in these hurried photos.
