Ed_Haynes Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 If I have varieties that "fill the gaps", I'll add more tomorrow. The flatbacks are especially nice., though. Have several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks Riley! I dont know much about them... I think that Igor told me that these were initially made to be screwbacks, then when the rules changed they were made into suspensions... I don't really remember though.Ed,I hope to see more of your variations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 A most peculiar Orders Book, for TWO Badges of Honor awarded only a year apart in the 1966-67 tidal wave of awards:[attachmentid=36412]what is peculiar is NOT that he got TWO of these so closely spaced together[attachmentid=36414]but that Zhotei Ivanovich Malitschev (not quite sure of spelling of scribbled/stamped over last name) HAS his photo, stamped by the Presidium of the USSR just like pre- and early-WW2 Orders Books, at all![attachmentid=36416]Unfortunately I do not have either of these-- so somewhere "out there" are two loose and NOW unattributable drop-dead-boring OBHs.

Guest Darrell Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks Riley! I dont know much about them... I think that Igor told me that these were initially made to be screwbacks, then when the rules changed they were made into suspensions... I don't really remember though.Yep quite a few soviet awards were screwback (in fact most) prior to June 19, 1943 when regulations stated a change to the 5 sided suspension.Interesting to note the ones that did NOT change to five sided suspensions were:a. Gold Star (HSU)b. Gold Sickle and Hammer (HSL)which received redesigned rectangular suspensions .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Rick,I wonder what he could have done to have been awarded this order twice within as many years? Was this awarded as a long service medal as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I another missed opportunity over a decade ago. Why pay 200 dollars when I could get a "normal one" for 20?!? I wished that I knew then what I do now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley1965 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 This is just GREAT !!! I love seeing your collections. I just realised that I don't have any award books with pics of the recipient. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alanirvine Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Michael.When you could get these at a reasonable price, I would look for the medal with the booklet and would focus on any that had a photo included.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 When did the value on Soviet medals/orders jump to what they are today? I remember amassing my collection in the early 90s. I went back and checked the value in 2000 with little change to what things were almost a decade earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thanks Alan!!! I will look for those. I appreciate the advise!!!Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alanirvine Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 A couple of years ago, and most certainly within the last year there has been a huge increase in prices. Almost daily!Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Part of the answer -- at least so everyone says -- is the entry into the market of a fair number of rich Russian "collectors" (= "investors") with very, very, very deep pockets, the source of whose wealth does not bear close examination. They are, or so it is said, sucking up much high-end and even not-so-high-end Soviet material. The awards are flowing back to the Motherland.
