Sterling Silver Soviet
This is a nicely made Soviet CO badge made in sterling as a specialty item for CO's to wear. The quality of the strike is excellent as you can see.
WWII Era Bulgarian
This was on ebay. I bid a little over $100 on it and did not follow it. It went for about $109. I don't know if it is real or not. It seems to be authentic but you never know.
1959-1964 Turkish Officer
This is an apparently poorly made badge. Listed as TKY-4 in Pritchard and drawn from a photo-copy, the badge is obvously moderately rare. It sold on ebay for over $500, which I feel is ridiculous. There are people willing to pay these premium prices, so bully for them. If that was what all this stuff was worth, I'd sell the 800 or so different sub badges I have to these guys and put my youngest kid through a couple of years of college on it.
1916 British Badge?
This is an oddity. Found it for sale at an on-line antique shop. Not sure what the heck it is. It was listed as made circa 1916 and it depicts a submarine. No other data was available.
Gold Typhoon Profile Pin
I have been holding off on Soviets, but this was a nice gold tone profile of a Typhoon class that was inexpensive and decently made.
