Only 3 more weekends left to scour the Yerevan flea market

Irish, I am currently living in Yerevan, Armenia. Every weekend there is a junk, flea, craft market in the center of the city. There are a few medal dealers with tables; 99% Soviet, but a few other odds and ends pop up now and then. It's only 5 minutes from my apartment; so, I usually stop by every weekend to see what's on offer.

Curious; I now have the same number of German and Soviet decorations, but I've paid twice the cash for the German pieces.

Collector of Militaria. U.S and Foreign. This is a hobby for me so I try not to take anything too seriously. I enjoy the collecting community and the shared learning experience.
-
Just when I thought I was "finished" with my Soviet wants, I see another medal bar. Good thing I'm leaving here soon.

Yesterday bought a PKO3...no I didn't, but I spent that much on a new dishwasher. -ugh

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

Ok, I arrive back home only 3 days before Christmas and need some gift ideas for the wife that I can order online! I wonder if she prefers Imperial German or Soviet medal groups?

Gents, to those of you who have loved ones recovering from illness or undergoing treatment, my best wishes for a speedy recovery, sorry for the lack of posts, as some know I had a wisdom tooth out, followed by two weeks of pain killing injections, immediately after which I caught a severe chest cold, the bright side is I had two brothers make a surprise visit one driving from Ireland to London to collect my twin brother before continuing on to my home in Romania via, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germ...

Hallo Gents, first the little dog is weighing in around 33 kilo now, asleep at my feet as I type.
Finally over the wisdom tooth removal effects medical gauze? no it was bit down on this cotton? bandage, spit it out in about 10 mins that was it. seems the blows to the jaw upset a nerve hence the injections I had to get from the wife. -
To top all that I had to have an ultra sound on my left knee as it was swollen, just checking to see if there was a thrombosis, glad to report the swelling is caused by fluid to the rear of the knee, was doing a lot of kneeling while cleaning up a 6 man grave plot for All Souls night. I will be getting a course of physio on Monday when I report back to the specialist.
