Gents, Given the continuing malaise of the world economy, there has not been much to report. The well-known NYC-area dealer has not had any fresh Full Cavalier-related inventory for quite some time. That inventory which he does advertise - a complete Full Cavalier set ($29,000.00) and a single Order of Glory 1st Class ($9,700.00) - has been sitting for months with no takers. The Full Cavalier set (post # 96 above) has been on the market for 16 months. Either his price points are too high and/or the collecting community is leery of investing capital in these challenging economic times. A word of caution. A few obviously fake Full Cavalier sets have been offered on eBay over the past year - largely originating from sellers in the Baltic states. Regards, slava1stclass

Gents, Who says men of the cloth can't fight? Russian Orthodox priest Georgiy Pukhnov of Urzhum thinks otherwise. Regards, slava1stclass -

Gents, As it liberated Soviet cities and villages, the Red Army would routinely accept orphaned children into its ranks . In this October 11th, 1944 image from the 1st Ukainian Front, Guards Captain A. Chernavin speaks with 14-year old Fyodya Samodurov in a village in Voronezh Oblast. Fyodya had earlier been awarded the Medal for Valor for bravery in action. Regards, slava1stclass -

Soviet Wound Stripe Wonder
slava1stclass replied to slava1stclass's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
Gents, Records are meant to be broken and so it goes with wound stripes. If this vet is legitimate (he does tend towards being a "Badgefinder"), I count 13 wound stripes on his right sleeve - nine gold and four red. Regards, slava1stclass -
