RRA227 Posted July 18, 2019 #1 Posted July 18, 2019 Does anybody know what the emblem on this buckle means? Thanks,Rich A. in Pa.
tiger41 Posted July 18, 2019 #2 Posted July 18, 2019 I'm a Japanese collector and have no business trying to answer this but isn't this Lithuanian (I think) and if its not tell me to go back to collecting Japanese !
gwb123 Posted July 18, 2019 #3 Posted July 18, 2019 It's Ukrainian. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS814US814&biw=1031&bih=680&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=UvowXeicJciz5gK0jpnoCg&q=ukrainian+symbol&oq=ukran+symbol&gs_l=img.1.0.0i7i10i30.25603.26653..28858...0.0..0.211.782.0j4j1......0....1..gws-wiz-img.......0i67j0j0i7i30.1T78YFCxA98
mikie Posted July 19, 2019 #5 Posted July 19, 2019 I was only a couple of "ranians" off. Ha!! Funniest post I've seen today! Thanks for the laugh. Mikie
RRA227 Posted July 19, 2019 Author #6 Posted July 19, 2019 Thanks for the help. Is this old or new? Thanks,Rich A. in Pa.
gwb123 Posted July 19, 2019 #7 Posted July 19, 2019 Not my area of expertise. It could range from WWII to the Cold War. For our experts, you will want to show the clasp on the backside as well.
mikie Posted July 31, 2019 #9 Posted July 31, 2019 I don't think the Soviets would have used this symbol during their long occupation of the Ukraine. It was a symbol of Ukrainian nationalism before the Russians took it over after WWI. The Nazi collaborators did use it. And the new Ukrainians used it after the Cold War ended .
RRA227 Posted August 1, 2019 Author #10 Posted August 1, 2019 Thanks for the help. What I would like to know when they stopped using leather for the belt. None of the Soviet belts I have are leather. Rich A. in Pa.
Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted August 19, 2019 #11 Posted August 19, 2019 Sorry dont know anything about Ukrainian gear, but on another forum I saw a leather belt that had been used by the Ukrainians in Iraq in 2003. Of course that doesnt answer how late they were made of leather, but if they were being used I would guess they were being made of leather in the 90s at least. Not much use I know, but hopefully better than nothing
