Hey guys.
Got this belt today.
The guy selling it told me it was brought back from Afganistan by a Kiwi a few years ago.
Is it a Soviet belt from the Soviet/Afgan war?
Any feed back would be helpful.
Cheers
Danger.
P.s
how do I put a quote at the bottom? that always shows when I post on a topic?

Can anyone help identify this insignia. It’s a gold colored metal & enameled device in the shape of shield (light blue) with a gold sword (pointed up) at the center over red flames & a small black shield in the upper corner with a gold sea horse(?) inside. Judging from the style of the pinback, it appears to be a WWII era German made piece. The device measures about 3/4" x 3/8" overall. Thanks in advance for your help.
The seller informed me this was a pre 1945 issue French kepi issued to commanders/officers of the French foreign legion, I highly doubt this is true but seeing as price was very cheap I brought it regardless.
Does anyone know a specific date for this kepi? also was this really issued to officers ? and does it belong to the French foreign legion? Attachment 290229Attachment 290230Attachment 290231Attachment 290232Attachment 290233Attachment 290234
