Hi Leigh, the top Ustasa tank badge and the collar are genuine, the one below may or may not be. My interest in the spinners is a collection of collars I have have a mix of types and as some are the same as Russian insignia I wondered if they may have been mixed up, or maybe they used both Russian and Yugoslavian insignia. Not the end of the world, but it would be good to know, best wishes Mike

I would think that all of my 'Yugo" insignia and awards are post WWII other than a few Ustasa metal insignia and a few medals and awards (including a Russian manufactured Medal For Bravery with documentation awarded to a member of the 13th Partisan Brigade).
I'll check through collar badges, but I think all of my collar dogs for the various arms have the brass IKOM type spinners. Last edited by leigh kitchen; 22-04-19 at 08:41 PM. |

Without a doubt this old photograph of the man himself would merit a place in a Yugoslav Peoples Army collection. A pity I can't make heads or tails of the annotations at back

Hi Leigh and Grad, thanks for the images. It looks like the set I got are a mix of Russian and Yugoslavian, mainly Russian. Hi Grad, I don't think the Renault is Romanian, though I would like it to be as I haven't any. There are differences around the drive wheel and the engine compartment. The Czech are different again, I'll post some pics tomorrow, best wishes and thanks again for the images, Mike

Hi Grad, I don't suppose that could be his signature on the back J Broz? just a thought, best wishes Mike

Hi Grad, going back to that post (button) I think you may be right. The rear of the tank on the button appears to have the same three projections on the rear section as the Yugoslav tank badges. Counter to this is the British manufactured tank insignia which shows the button with the coat of arms on it but also the tanks less the three projections. Personally I would go with it being Yugoslavian as the tank is quite unique. I need to look into Renault 17's development and see what I can find on those projections. I've included my Czech badges just to show the individuality in Renault badges. The same applies to British ww1 tanks, but thats another story, best wishes Mike

HI Mike
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing. The old wartime and pre-war items have a certain aura around them. Possibly because they are representative of bygone armies. I looked for my Renault tank button to take a clearer pic but, as usual, it's playing hide and seek. Will turn up eventually Thanks again GTB |

Hi, the first two projections are supposed to be support brackets for a box, best wishes Mike

Hi Grad, with the clearer image, I think it may well be Yugoslavian. certainly ticks all the boxes. Rivets and projections roughly the same positions and presenting the same angle, can't think of any other candidate. If you ever want to get rid of it let me know, always happy to swap non armoured items, best wishes Mike
