Sebastien,
I've never heard of such a book. I know you'd rather get a more helpful answer  Alexei

thanks! is there any mere estimation of the quantities issued of these badges? I believe 200 different ones are only the emmergent tip of the iceberg...

I saw a Russian-language advertisement some 10-15 years ago for a booklet that was going to be done by a Belorussian collector club. I don't know if it ever saw the day of light.
I have over 350, have photographed them, and written a supporting text. Paul McDaniel will help me publish this, however it will be a paperback booklet and cannot claim to be "comprehensive". I've heard of collections numbering over 1000 badges, but I honestly doubt whether they still exist. I know veteran badge collecting became extremely popular at least in Ukraine, since many couldn't afford the orders and medals. |

Veteran badges are very popular here in StPetersburg. At the local club meetings, there are litterally hundreds available.
