Soviet RB#4+Lenin-group at Dimitry's coming auction in N.Y.

[Christian Zulus]

Gentlemen,

Dimitry offers a (complete!) Lenin + 3x RB + RB#4 + OPW1cl group with document at the 10th of january 2008 at his N.Y. auction: http://www.sixbid.com/nav.php?p=viewlot&am...16&lot=2215

Starting bid is USD 7.680,- (incl. 12 % buyers fee) and estimate is USD 8.960 (incl. 12 % buyers fee)

"Complete documented personal group of Hohlov I.F., includes Red Banner, 4th Award. Comes with Order of Lenin #62521, 4 Orders of Red Banner (#88440, #163661, #197141 and 4th Award #1563), and Order of the Patriotic War 1st Class #47762. Orders Book lists all of the decorations, nothing is missing. Scarce complete group.

Condition: Superb on all items, flawless enamels"

If the group is genuine, the estimate (and the starting bid) seems as a bargain .

The research of that group might also produce great citations, because there might be only 1 (one) long service award among the orders (one of the RBs or even the Lenin).

And ... RB#4-groups ARE rare ...

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

Best regards

Christian

Awesome group!

I dare to predict the group will sell for more than $10,000.

And the lucky buyer most likely will be someone from Russia / Ukraine.
