    Monetny Dvor on German award

    Thought this is pretty cool - a German Flak badge modified with a Russian screwback. The Germans were really screwed by the Russians! Sorry - too easy!

    Most interesting. Do you propose this was ordered by a German vet in the occupied Soviet Union?

      No - it looks like his Flak badge was repaired a number of times at the hinge and he got fed up, took a Soviet award and chopped the screw off, had it soldered on and used it.
