Soviet Second World War Veteran Badges
By Paul J. Schmitt

For the first time ever, a reference in English introduces the numerous artistic badges (or znachki in Russian) worn by Soviet Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) veterans. This booklet contains an informative introduction, over 400+ identified badges in color with their description and comments, logical arrangement system, a chart of 45 identified trademarks, bibliography, and photographs of veterans wearing their pins.

The book is arranged by military units from the front level down to regiment with air force, naval, partisan, battle participants, specialized units, and even some badges of unknown provenance.

The experienced author has over 20 years of experience with Soviet militaria and authored the acclaimed The Comprehensive Guide to Soviet Orders and Medals, Echoes of War, and the Partisan’s Companion.

Booklet has 80 pages in stunning color with gloss finish. Price is $27 with $5 postage in the continental US. Order directly from the author at zhukovmdl@hotmail.com.

I'll add that this book was a cooperative effort with our very own kirchgoens and everyone here has enjoyed his photographic ability. I would encourage everyone here to more collaborative efforts in our "community" - everybody knows something.

I'll be happy to personalize the book for forum subscribers.

Thanks for looking!

Oops, not an auction. Nevertheless, congratulations bigtime Woyko of ODM's and Woyko of photography on your new joint venture. Gentlemen, look forward to the book!

I finally got the opportunity to take some photos. The glossy finish makes it hard in the sun.

My copy just arrived. Better than I expected (and, to be honest, I expected A LOT). Order one NOW, while still available.

and thanks, Paul

Have mine and enjoyed reading through it. Like echoes of war, it has both reference and entertainment value.
