I purchased a copy of the badge book. While it does not carry extensive information regarding the historical backround of each badge, it does seem to be really comprehensive in displaying all of the Soviet badges of the period from the Revolution to after World War II. The photography is excellent, and the text is in Russian, German, and English, so it is a superb reference if you don't read Russian. In the back of the book it is indicated that the print run was indeed only 700 copies. I was also told by one dealer that he was not going to bring in any more copies after I purchased mine because the book is massive and heavy, and costs a fortune just to ship. In size it is about the same as McDaniel's book on Orders and Medals.

Mattei,
Thanks a lot for the detailed info! You have it? If you do what's your opinion about it? And if compared with "Art of Russian Metal Miniature. Catalogue of Badges, 1917-1991" by I.I. Likhitskiy (as listed on Alexei site)? Thanks again, Dolf PS: I just made the conversion to USD... Is this correct?! Approximately $213.00?!... WOW! Last edited by Dolf; 10-25-2005 at 11:16 AM. |

Hello Dolf.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough older badges to justify to buy such expensive book yet. So, I cannot tell you more. For the price conversion, I didn't calculate exactly, but the price you stated in USD seems right. I just saw this book on a russian website from which I recently ordered a new book on soviet weapons which by the way seems pretty interesting and is very cheap (187 roubles). Here is cover: You can PM me for more pictures or info. |
