Soviet about price of a red star
paddywhack replied to skyinmoon's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
will the bubble burst on soviet prices? probably not! EVERY year i see thread after thread on how third reich prices are set to crash and as of yet they haven't! same for the soviet stuff HOWEVER the current economic climate could well see alot of people selling off there orders,finding they cant get the price they want and dropping the price!it might might not happen!as for the red star!at the current rate yeah that pretty good i think!over here in dublin expect to pay E150 for 7 digit one!!!!! -

iv seen that before and good documentary! havent a clue about the russian fed awards though!!! :beer: -
"During period of counterattack by German forces against the 150th Guard Rifle Regiment he skillfully arranged to block any effort that would lead to the possibility of panic." you just KNOW he was one of those officers standing shooting anyone who even thought about retreating as the Germans steamrolled over these troops!

actually over on WAF im trying to get a few people together to go to this so if your round team canada give me a shout and im sure can show you round the place and get a few cheeky pints in to!! all good!! as for irish stuff really depends what your looking for! i can tell you the places in dublin where they sell militaria (??) if your looking for a 1916 medal youd have to wait till an auction or till another collector want to part with his and but expect to pay BBIIIIIGGGG money for it!!
