Identify these pins (Insignia?)
I picked these up at a flea market. Any info such as Rank, branch of service, and any value will be appreciated. Pictures 8&9 and 10&11 are front & back of the same pins.

With the possible exception of the Russian pin, I don't think you have anything there that couldn't be found in a pawn shop or surplus store at nominal prices.0 -
OK, what is a nominal price for the collection? 0 -
The unit crest pins are available for $9-10 a pair. The other pins are $4-10 a pair new. 0
