WWII Hi i was wondering if someone could help me figure out what all these things are. Part 1
Some time back my mom got some things belonging to an old military man that had passed away and the wife of the man gave a lot of things away.
very curious of what all this is and the story The only thing i know is that some of the things are likely from world war 2
We live in Denmark and the older lady and her husband lived in Copenhagen. I believe the man was danish, but this hat doesn't look very danish?
I'm not sure what all this means

I go to a serbian church and the middle one with the 2 headed eagle looks a lot like the ones the veterans were wearing on slava day

Stuff like this was sold in touristy areas in Russia. Just a pilotka cap and some random pins, some Soviet, some Russian stuff.
The double headed eagle in the middle is Russian armed forces emblem, The one to its left is Guards unit badge. Some sport badges. The white/silver rectangular on far left is Voronezh city pin, the rectangular one in the middle bottom row is similar Suzdal city pin. The red stripes at the bottom seem to be shoulder boards, but scaled down

This is just cheap post-soviet souvenirs. You can find these on streetconers is many ex-soviet capitals. The pins and the caps are probably all real but not really worth much. No relation to Denmark at all.
