A question for our Eastern comrades

[Oberon]

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:

A better quality pic got a digi cam be alot better could be a X decade of service badge its russian alright white flag blue cross but need a bettwer picture.

"За дальний поход" - "For a long patrol"

I belive this is a patrol badge. :)

[Kapitan]

More than likely what it is, but it looks familure very familure.

[Oberon]

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.

Yep badge for a long patrol in a kilo class submarine, probly from the baltic fleet.

[Oberon]

Sweet! :D
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 :D :D

Last word is moscow other than that huh :-?

[GreyOctober]

I can read "POBEDA MOSCVA" = VICTORY MOSCOW!

Cheers!

[Oberon]

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 :yep:

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.

That cap is a Original, Real, Russian Captains Cap.

Can someone tell from wich year this one is?
Was it used on submarines too? :hmm:

Damnit, i just hijaked Oberon's Thread... :rotfl:

[GreyOctober]

My GAWD! you ARE sick! :o :P :P NICE!!

Id say its from the post WWII, Cold War period... I think the design is somewhat different now and its lacking the communist markings (sickle, hammer and star).

Cheers!

[The Noob]

My GAWD! you ARE sick!


Why?

[Oberon]

Just had to go one up on me didn't ya? ;) :-j

Looking good there! :up: :up: I used to have a Ushanka which I equipped with a red star badge I picked up off a market stall in Waterloo but I grew out of it years ago and haven't had a chance to get another yet.

[Kapitan]

Comrade captain your salute is totaly wrong ack what do they teach you in sub school.

Right hand not touching face but elevated at 45 degrees.

but nice cap too would go well with my ushanka which is also russian navy.

[Iceman]

Original capin musta had a small head for it to fit on the boy here ...lol....not infering that Soviet capins must have small heads or anything lol. :rotfl:

[Kapitan]

Its they way they are worn they sit on the tip top of the head not like a normal hat near the ears.
