1. Where to buy military badges for a military outfit? First of all, you should go to the ebay public auction, where sellers from all over the world sell badges of different types of troops of all armies of the world. The choice is huge, but if you are not familiar with the icons, buy just beautiful and inexpensive ones.

In addition to the worldwide auction, there are many sites on the Internet that sell collectibles, but purchases on these sites can be fraught with more complexity and potential deception than on trusted ebay.



2. What badges should I buy? All badges carry a meaning, because they were issued not just for beauty, but for some kind of merit or the delivery of certain standards. Sometimes signs are given in honor of a specific event or date, but in any case, each has a hidden meaning.

You can buy based on value, but if you do not want to delve into different subtleties of military history, buy based on personal impressions - the most beautiful military badges.

Personally, I like the 1920-1940 badges that were given to employees the most. VChK, GPU, OGPU, NKVD... The badges of the Soviet power structures have a chic design, everything is thought out in them to the smallest detail! But beauty is not the only quality of these badges, they literally radiate energy, strength, valor, courage and tragedy at the same time.

The badges of the Soviet power structures best of all combine the spirit of a real military and a well-thought-out stylish design. It seems to me that there is nothing better than these icons. But they have their drawbacks - they are very expensive, they are often counterfeited, and lastly, in Russia you may be asked a question about the origin of the badge and why you wear it.




Only these obstacles make the badges of the Cheka, GPU, OGPU, NKVD more desirable. One single badge will add a complex fashion zest to your military-style image, and will fill the entire image with the energy that the soldiers of the Red Army and security officers were charged with during the formation of Soviet power! But for this to happen, you must not only wear a badge, but know the history, because even the most sacred things without knowledge and faith they lose their power and significance.

Most of the owners of these badges either died or were shot, but they were real warriors, they laughed at death. If you think about it and think about it, you will not want to turn such a badge into a simple decoration of a fashionable military style. It might be better to buy something simpler ...
