Hi Paul, I wish I had a tunic to post

But I do have this POA Russian Army of Liberation armsheild to share with the forum. I bought this over twenty years ago now. It is well used and worn and has some small bloodstains on it. I must say it is a fave item from my collection. The British soldiers used to refer to these troops as "Pals of Adolf" after the letters seen on the badge

Cheers, Ade.

Adrian,

This is actually cocade used by Roland legion and later by Ukrainian police. The UNA cocade is the oval one.

Cheers

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Askold, many thanks for the information. I will amend my files accordingly

Again this was an item purchased almost 30 years ago.

Cheers, Ade.

I picked one of them up on my trip to Ukraine - person who sold them, told me that a whole box of them was found in the old factory where they were produced.
