Re: Badge "The Red Banner Of Three Great Revolutions".

According to the 2008 Census of the DPRK the number of actively barracked forces of the Korean People's Army was 662,349 Men and 40,023 Women which would mean that women only make up 6% of the Korean People's Army.

Re: Badge "The Red Banner Of Three Great Revolutions".

Very interesting, thanks! They do deflate the census numbers of course. The official stats are lower what we recognize in the West--that they are closer to 1 million under arms. (Which the DPRK say is ridiculous ;) )

I prefer the DPRK traffic ladies myself. :)

Yes, I agree. Those census numbers are as reliable as any official information coming from North Korea...:rolleyes:

Re: Badge "The Red Banner Of Three Great Revolutions".

Here's another that has had such a life that the pin has had to be clumsily replaced. Once again the paint "enamel" has not done well.

Re: Badge "The Red Banner Of Three Great Revolutions".

Here is another example of a Second Award. The missing pin can very easily be replaced.

Another 1st Class that has unfortunately been tested for metal content twice (as if the weight isn't a give away).

Re: Badge "The Red Banner Of Three Great Revolutions".

Another 1st Class. It looks as it has been named and then removed.
