For Sale - Badges, Medals and InsigniaUPDATED - 6 April 2024
On this page you will find dozens of Soviet, Russian, and DDR/Hungarian badges, medals, insignia and other uniform accessories for sale. If you are interested in any of these, please contact me directly at: randallstewart@comcast.net and I will inform you if I have in fact some for sale. Upon you telling me what you want below (or on the other sale pages), I will provide you the cost of postage - and if you agree; we will conclude our business. I accept checks or money orders in US dollars or PAYPAL (but I have to charge an extra 5% to cover PAYPAL fees if you choose this option - sorry). I have had many of these items for over 40 years and have no clue what I paid for them. The prices I list are I believe below market value; but if you really want something that you believe I've priced too high, contact me and we'll probably arrive at a settlement that's fair.
Please note shoulderboards, collar tabs and Soviet sleeve patches are listed separately on my For Sale - Shoulderboards page.
