Hello,
I have found last week two very interesting pins "EWA Russische Camera's". They are labeled half German half English or any other language? I have absolutely no ideas what does it mean. I suppose only that it could be something about russian cameras  . Can anybody help?

Hello Alexander,
very interesting find! And with a picture of Start no less.. I've done a little research, the only thing I've found is EWA is an European Water Association  , but I don't think that's it, there is also EWA-Marine in Germany which is a company dealing with camera underwater housings, my wild guess is if it's connected - Start was one of the cameras that did have an underwater house for it - the SKF-1 if I'm not mistaken, so maybe somehow related? I bet you that Luiz Paracampo is going to know what this is

Bingo Sandor!
It is really Dutch! I have just found on eBay.nl nearly the same pin and I will ask the seller, if he could give me some more information what could it be! I will post here his answer, if I get it :)

EWA means East-West-Agencies.
The Netherlan's branch of TOE England and was the distributor of Russian cameras.
See similarities with Mashpriborintorg logo
