This was part of a grouping. It was the last piece, no one wanted it. Then I saw a guy at the flea market with a sign , he was collecting for a Boy scout Museum!
So, I donated it to him.. He was in love at first site!, said it will be their best piece. Glad someone will be happy with it!

on one side are these 2 'home made' badges he called them.. 1951 and 1953!

,,, other side has a patch for the 'Spring Festival of 1956' and a pin for US and Ukrainian relations.

heres another shot of the pin.. Maybe should have kept that!! but wanted him to get it exactly as I got it..

Left side has a red and gold ribbon sewn to shoulder and this killer patch!

1949!! this is really cool! A professional made patch on felt.. Wonder how many members there were. NY and NJ has a lot of the Ukrainians that settled from the Russian forced famine of the early 30s.

V cool there G--- you've got quite the eastern knowledge after all these years of collecting (and marriage!) never seen anything like that
