Hey y'all

Wondering about this pin here. Dug it up about May or so. I'm guessing WWII but couldn't find anything myself....so I turn to the experts :notworthy:

Well, it looks like a Russian T-34 or maybe the T-54/55......more later.

I think it is a tank forces badge. It resembles the Post WW1 Russian medal so it's more than likely Russian.

That tank had a massive 155 gun barrel when fired it backed the tank up 5 feet tremendous fire power the only problem was the rest of the tank was to thin no armor , the Soviet Union produced that tank back in 1940 for Poland , Joseph Stalin wanted the armor for his own tanks the T-54 , i was on one of those tanks in a German tank museum , also i spent my military years in a Armored Div. Nice military pin :icon_thumleft:

The unit was active between 1942 and 1947. The division was formed as part of the I Polish Corps In the early stages the division was stationed in Scotland and guarded approximately 200 kilometres of British coast.
