These are very nice unissued examples of the Don Cossacks Volunteer Sleeve Shields. This is the printed type, with Cyrillic letters, introduced in July 1944. The lettering stands for Voysko Donskoye, meaning Don Clan. The Don Cossacks served as part of the 1. Kosaken Kavallerie Division and were known for their ruthless fighting on the Eastern Front. After the war, most of the survivors of this unit were executed.
