Chuck In Oregon Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I was getting some things ready to post on eBay and I came across this small group. I thought it was interesting enough to be posted here for your enjoyment.The recipient was Markoz Lomtatidze of Georgia. He was an NKVD, later KGB, officer and a deputy to the Supreme Soviet. This group was purchased directly from his family.The order books are falling apart, as if he carried them every day of his life. The deputy's ID folder was lost long ago.Enjoy.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definately a keeper.Doc** * * *Thanks, Doc. It's a good little set, but not really something that fits into any of my specific collecting interests.As for deputy's badges, I have a very large group that includes Supreme Soviet deputy badges and ID folders for eight consecutive terms -- for the same man -- over a 35-year period. I think it is the only one such in the west and one of the very few, ever.Chuck Edited March 23, 2006 by Chuck In Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger Doug Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Have you tried to research that Red Banner? Should be really interesting if anything is available. I've had some success with NKVD recipients so it is possible that you could find something on him. A nice group indeed.Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice group indeed.Doug* * * * *I'm a little embarassed to admit it, but I've never researched anything, ever. I don't even know how to do it or how much it costs. At best, I try to get as much of a story as possible when I can buy something directly from a family, then pass along what they tell me. It's not perfect. Heck, it may not even be good, but it's what I've been doing.You're right, though. I'll think about making this my first one.I'm glad that my modest groups are giving you some enjoyment. That's the way it's supposed to be.Poor Zags ... and Dukies. I don't even know who to root for now. I can't bring myself to get behind UCLA or Washington. Maybe I'll just stop watching the tournament. Uh, no.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is not a fake.This discussion may now continue without my further participation.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Before we get into a he says - they say - I say debate about the authenticity of these awards, I would highly encourage Ed to simply have PMD look at them and we can go from there. Everyone has their own opinions, but we can all agree that PMD is, most importantly, an unbiased and impartial judge of authenticity.So please, before the fur starts flying...Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
