 |
|
My mum got this badge at a boot fair in Essex today, and I was wondering what the story behind it is...the boat on the badge looks a lot like a Kilo but that's about all I can figure out...other than the fact that it's Russian of course 
I was wondering if anyone (Kap, Xabba) would be able to help me here.
Here's the badge (sorry about the poor quality, it's from the phone camera):
And here's a rough copy of the cyrillic on the badge, hope it makes sense...a bit of it is hard to make out:

"?? ??????? ?????" - "For a long patrol"
I belive this is a patrol badge.  |

Here we go, I dug the digital camera out and got a better shot, pardon the hand, I was holding it under the living room light to get a better shot.

Sweet! 
One more question, what does this cyrillic mean? I've got it on the back of another badge, I get that the Mockba is Moscow...but what about the rest?
Thanks

Ok, here's a digi-cam pic, not so good as the last one as it's a bit smaller...
It's on the back of one of these badges, so it'd make sense if it was Victory Moscow 
Thanks for all your help everyone  |

| do you have a macro mode in your cam? you may use some bright light because flash with macro photography is a real pain in the rear end. |
