You would definitely be fined if you did (Even at militaria fairs where collectors show off and sell their medals etc. they must hide the swastikas).<br />That's why I'm asking how they handle this in Larvia - do they just ignore this or do they ask those people with Soviet symbols to remove them?Julesnoreply@blogger.com
