Gents, FWIW, the other Full Cavalier set (which had limited documentation - Ordenskaya Knizhka) went unsold. The same held true for the single Order of Glory 1st Class. Wild Card raises another good point. If I had the choice between a Full Cavalier set awarded to a member of a Guards formation or a standard line unit, I would always choose the Guards set. Guards formations were generally committed to the toughest areas of the fight. Regards, slava1stclass

To all: Beyond the fact this is a Soviet naval JAG colonel, note the unique custom made "hangers" for his decorations - especially those for his foreign awards. Regards, slava1stclass
