Vintage Catholic Priest Boy Scout liturgical stole patch lot / Manchuria badges c. The stole belonged to Polish Rev. Wilczynski, counselor of the St. Nicolas’ Lyceum scout troop in Harbin, Manchuria. It is somehow damaged by moisture but retains most of the embroidered details (see photos). My badges are genuine, not fakes. My field of scout badge collecting is very specialized and I limit the search to Air Scouting, Scouts in Exile (mainly pre-1989, DP camps, etnic troops abroad), BSA badges of office, Japan and a very few more. Therefore it is normal that I can also offer more of this type of insignia or that I can find the right contacts to obtain them. I have been honored with scout awards from Russian, Belarusian and Estonian scouts in the past. Alexey Zacharin and Margarita Suwalow (both ORUR) were good friends of mine, and still keep regular contact with Nick Gileff (NORS) today. I helped Piet Kroonenberg (WOSM historian) to compile information and pictures for his books as well. I have +45 years of experience in Scout collecting so I care very little about your opinion and suspicions. Regarding air scout badges, 30% of my collection are privates of single troop issues and initiatives. Is a difficult program and is not always understood nor supported by associations, so it is normal that sometimes there are no records of these. Remember, A SCOUT IS TRUSTWORTHY!
