Stogieman Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Huh. Looks like a paperback. Any idea as to illustrations? Color? Drawings?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Received my copy today.It is indeed a paperback and black and white. Size is half A4. 51 pages of which the last 15 or so drawings of the various awards (nothing special here - Bat's book has it all in color photographs so much better).The book is in Russian. This is annoying because the other 36 pages give a tremendous amount of written detail about the various awards. Perhaps the most I've seen documented - but again, in Russian Also contains some charts which appear to give an indication of metal content per award or perhaps size. Odd strings of numbers which I can't interpret with my limited (da / njet) Russian.I will post some scans later. All in all, if you can read Russian, a great book probably because of the many details documented in it per award. Otherwise... well... for the completists:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Sorry, can't read tiny blurry sideways scans! When was this actually printed? I may be (and hopefully am!) mistaken, but I had heard that Professor Victorov-Orlov had died recently. He and I used to correspond (he lived in Chelyabinsk) back in the "Evil Empire" days (which must have gotten the mail for both of us opened by both sides! ) when I was in college in the 1970s and we were both OMSA members. I used to work with a nice Pakistani lady who translated all his ahem ahem ahem recently returned "advisor" medals for him(so I was kind of a proto-pre-Ed Haynes without any actual such language skills of my own, in those dark Brezhnevian days ).But to UNdigress, I can read Russian--if only it is large and focussed enough! (Try for ONE PAGE the size to be completely visible on a monitor screen.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we can make it a rolling project to do 1 scan a week translation and post it here?The book should provide quite some details as there's a LOT more text in it than the Bat book.Will look at the printing date later today when I'm home again.

Bob Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Had a chance to look at it a bit more. Posted some of the pages of more interesting medals under the specific threads.Also managed to look at the tables in the book more. It's clear that they give- details (size, weight, metal) on each of the medal / orders- and also seperate table providing exact color scheme / size details of all ribbons, old and newGreat book.

cosinus Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I bought this book 16 years ago... and already forgot about this...I know it was published in "Medals Collector" journal #6 and 7 in 1989 in USA... I personally find the book boring and not actual now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vatjan Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 The most interesting part about this book is the page with the technical data of the orders and medals.It gives weight and measurments, and metal content, this might be very helpful once we start seeing fakes.I put abbreviated translations next to the correponding russian text.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Waiting for pics... Are those books new or old?DimaOld, so let's not get our hopes up too high. Nevertheless, the suspense in itself is already making it fun:)Judging by the amount of text, I'd be somewhat disappointed if it didn't contain at least some tidbit of new info.
