Hi all,

I have just arrived in Glasgow, Scotland. I would be most grateful if you could give me some information about dealers who sell Soviet orders and medals in Scotland.

Regards

Oops, sorry. Did I forget? PM sent.

Thank you very much for your PM, Ed :lol:

Could anybody tell me how to research an order?:banger:

In any case, it would be worth getting researched. Someone's life, someone's career?

Ed:

I never try to research my orders, I don't know russian and how to research them. Could you tell me how to research them? Should I mail photos to russia? Where should I submit my application? How much money do they ask for the service?

Thanks a lot.

Hi :

I checked the order after I received it. There are no repairing traces on the enamels of three o'clock arm. The reason of fading on the three o'clock arm is the enamels turn up from the red background colour...

To some collectors (and this forum, I think, has more than some), it matters a great deal. I (and others) are quite willing to pay money to research a piece that cost $20 or so. For the type collector, this seems lunatic, I am sure. For me (and others) it is ALL ABOUT the history. This is why for some unnamed unnumbered ahistorical medals hold little value or interest.

Agree with you, Ed.

I think I am a collector care about the history of my collection. Every order means an outstanding story of the recipient, especially an order awarded in the war era. This red star may awarded to a soldier during WW2, it is the reason encourages me to ask for your help using my poor English(I always read topics and don't express my opinion, I am afraid my English can not be understood).

I have already paid for the order and will receive it in 3 days. I will release a new topic then ,because it's my first red star.

Thanks a lot for everyone's opinion.

Hello everyone:

I met a dealer on internet and interested in his red star with 6 digi sn. The enamel has been repaired on 3o'clock arm, and the repaired area is a little washed-out. He asked 150USD for this order.

My question is:is it a good or bad price for this red star? Consider the repaired area. Thanks a lot for your opinion.

Here is the photo he gave me:
