Soviet Glory 1cl at Dimitry's coming auction in N.Y.

[Christian Zulus]

Gentlemen,

Dimitry offers a Glory 1cl s/n. 1702 http://www.mirnagrad.ru/cgi-bin/exinform.c...;ич at the 10th of january 2008 at his N.Y. auction: http://www.sixbid.com/nav.php?p=viewlot&am...16&lot=2231

Starting bid is USD 6.720,- (incl. 12 % buyers fee) and estimate is USD 8.400 (incl. 12 % buyers fee)

"Comes with copies of biography and awarding details for all 3 Classes. Awarded to Trunov A.M. for fighting on the streets of Berlin during the last days of war. Sen. Sergant Trunov was awarded with two(!) 2nd Class Orders in May of 1945, for fighting on Oder River, and street fighting in Berlin. The Berlin?s 2nd Class award was later exchanged for the 1st Class. Rare such.

Condition: Excellent overall, perfect enamel, minimal wear"

Well, that award is unresearched ....

Since two years, Glory 1cl or full cavalier sets are always sold very, very quickly - at increasing prices.

Another fact is, that no dealer in the west can offer a Glory 1cl or a full cavalier set at the moment.

Let's have a look which hammer-price will be yielded ....

Best regards

Christian
