Lots of stuff that needs an ID

Got a lot of stuff needing ID's some of it you've seen before, but new guys might know what we didn't. Other stuff is recent buys. My books only cover so much since I really only dabble in international stuff. Hope you guys can figure a lot of this out.

Tinnies type things(soviet area I think):

And last but not least, It's British. I got it from a guy when in Desert Storm, but don't remember the unit.

Hi there

Ty Sir.. I don't know why that came up as a German Beret Badge.. That was a totally different picture.. My scanner does stupid stuff sometimes tho.. It did things like that(loading the wrong picture) all nite on photobucket one nite. I got them listed right now and put in thier own place on my site.. I'll dig out the pins and see if I can get a better sht of the words on the Ukranian one.

Hey Fins,not problem. If you have more badges/pins from PostSoviet republics,let me konw . I will help you with reading Vitalis

Those two cloth badges you have listed as "Belgian" are French, I think.

Steve,

I think you might be right. The guy who gave them to me told me they were Belgium, but it doesn't mean he was right!! I'm lookin for info now, but no luck so far.. My book doesn't show after WW2 and the other is sparodic on rank. So.. Anyone have any ideas on the French ranks or the other stuff??

This emblem is Spanish airline pilot from 1960 -70

The only thing that changes is the color of the circle, not tell you why.

The last badge is 101 (BlackAdder) Logistics Bde British Army. It was chosen during Gulf War 1990 - 1991 as the Brigade Tactical Recognition Flash after the popular BBC comedy series "BlackAdder" which is absolutely hilarious and well worth watching. "Blackadder goes forth" about the British Army on the Western front during WW1 1914 - 1918 is the best and most appropriate to this forum. Check it out on you tube.
Hope this helps.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxbzb8XXiGQ

Got a couple new ones and of course, any help on the ones still showing!!

I know they are German. I think the one with the horse is 7th Panzer Grenediers. I'm not sure about the other one.





Thanks guys!!
