<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 415069, member: 54&quot;]I think the top depicts a cavalry charge by Russian troops.&nbsp; The bottle-top style hat/helmet was worn up till at least WW1.&nbsp; The star thing at top is a shell bursting over the charging cavalry.&nbsp; Foreground are guided missiles and a parabolic radar antenna probably part of the missile fire control gear.&nbsp; All I can think is that this is to show how the Soviet Army has modernized over the previous 60 years.&nbsp; The medium is interesting, it certainly has the look of a thin sheet of brass rubbed over a relief template, similar to the old Coppercraft kits I used to get as Xmas presents.&nbsp; I’m guessing this one was either a one-off, or a press with usual two-part die was used to reproduce it.&nbsp; I do like it, if you put it up for sale let me know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
