Thank you Matt for the Dutch and Walloon shields! With my French, I think I have all the Western Nations.

Probably the most exciting finds from 2020, 1. Rare photo of Ukrainian Liberation Army (YBB) officers, note the KVK ribbon on the fellow in the middle. Thank you Eduard! 2. Super rare variant of embroidered shield for 14th SS Galicia division. They were made very poorly and most fell apart when soldiers tried to remove them. I am only aware of one more such variant in existence - a colleague of mine, got his directly from Galicia vet living in Scotland. Thank you Andrew M!

Thank you guys!

Ivan - if you are talking about Croatian Air Legion wings - please compare them to the other known original examples, they are definitely original.

Its not the best view with that giant logo over the item But as far as I can see, this is the same pair of wings , but with silver bullion added to the wings. Maybe an officer version?
