there has been a long discussion going on about a group posted before with a OG1 #363. Maybe you can give conclusive answer weather the OG1 is authentic or not. Your opinion is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Indeed. I have used many examples in the same range. It’s not me who is questioning the set. And the buyer isn’t worried either. Still, some other people expressed their concerns. So maybe you can help taking their concerns away.
thanks

Wow, that’s rather steep. Even in today’s market and for a full set.
Here another full cavalier: Awarded to jr sergeant Mikhail Vladimirovich Getmansky (Михаил Владимирович Гетманский)
For street fighting in the very center of Berlin during the Battle of Berlin.
One of the very last OG1s

The price reflects the story... It's already up $15k

That's very reasonable. Is there more info on the awardee?

Yes, my thoughs exactly. Also nice is the large amount of information which can be found online about him.

Hi all,
I have a navy 'Bulat' dagger here dated 1989 and a army ZIK dagger without a year. Are these combinations even possible?
Thanks!

Yup, I was a bit disappointed myself to be honest. Not a bad price but in this condition to a full cavalier... I wish the buyer didn't pay me. I wouldn't have sold it if I knew the price would be this low. Especially since I have sold Glory 2nd's in worse condition with a less interesting story to non-full-cavaliers for over $700

Thanks Christian! I will keep you posted about future developments ;-)

No need to say to say sorry;-) I'm well aware that the value is affected by the serial number alteration ;-)

Thanks Christian,
Yes, it does sound like a plausible explanation. I have not checked the files yet. Do you think this kind of information is documented?
Cheers!

I'm very sure it's authentic. Not only because the COA was made by 3 experts (and because I am not exactly a beginner either), but also because this order was bought in Russia 1993 by a trusted friend of mine.
Now, the reason why the serial number was buffed out... One can only speculate. What I did notice is that the serial number was erased in a similar manor as some duplicate OPW's 1 and (other?) duplicate Glory's 1st class I have witnessed. But the engraving of the new serial number is a real mistery. The order was not purchased as part of a group so it was not done to deceive.

Dear USSR,
the Spassky-Tower and the Red Star on top are too narrow. Can you forward the photograph of your OGI on the COA?
If your OGI is authentic, then it looks like fresh from the stocks of the mint. Did you invest some few bucks into research?
Kind regards
Christian
Here it is. But as you can see, the serial number was altered. I am really curious why this was done.

A copy, USSR? The Spassky-Tower and the Red Star are looking different ...
No, it's authentic and comes with a COA. Probably some distortion as a result of the bright the lighting.
