The medal! It may be a tad hard finding a P&H price for the actual revolution! Cheers

Howdy yall, I was wondering what the optimal price range for an October Revolution would be. I am talking a real one here as well! Cheers

My dad's boss has one just like that. I saw it when I was looking through his knife collection. I know nothing about it though

I'm not too sure about ebay. There are a lot of fakes out there so you have to do your research and really know what you are buying. All the best with your hunting, Tom

Kane, There is a soviet colonels uniform going now on ebay for US $199.99, and it finishes on the 27th of Dec. This is what the seller is saying about it "Armor Colonels Uniform. Tunic is complete with rank insignia, fourteen ribbons, shoulder boards, collar insignia and tank badge. Trousers approx. size 33 and tunic size appros. 40. Used lightly but nice condition." Here is the web page if you want to check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Armor-Colonels-Unif...VQQcmdZViewItem Cheers, Tom

Please forgive my ignorance but did Singapore have a flag change after the 1940's? On the medal, the flag has a sun motif but the modern day flag is red and white and has a cresent moon with five stars. It is a very interesting medal. I have never heard of Meissen Medals before.

Cheers Tom

Yes, we do have IKEAs Down Under, though we dont have Michaels. I am planning to start a thread with pictures of my baby collection but I dont know any good image hosting websites. Does anybody know of any? Cheers Doc, Gerd and Order_Of_Victory Tom

Hey Doc. Gerd (my medal collecting guru) said that he uses IKEA frames. He attaches some silk on the background and drills holes in the pressed-wood backplate. In another frame he has a medal and a ribbonbar pressed agains the glass holding them there. He also says that he has another frame called a RIBBA he uses. At the moment i have Medal for the 100th Anniversary of Lenin?s Birth, Medal for Veterans of Labour, Engineering Institute graduate, circa 1950s-60s, Combined Arms Specialist, Master, 1960s-80s, 60 Years of the Armed Forces of the USSR, 50 years Anniversary badge of the Liberation of the Ukraine and three other medals that i am yet to indentify. They are all in a shoebox and that doesn't do justice to the medals. If I am unable to buy them I could always make them myself (i'm pretty nifty with my hands). Cheers, Tom

Thanks, I will be sure to. Gerd said that youhave some tips on displaying medals. I am just starting out and I just dont know how to display my fleging collection. Any tips would be appreciated. Cheers Tom

It's a right, Gerd has told me that it is a 50 years Anniversary of the Liberation of the Ukraine badge. Thanks Gerd! Cheers Tom

Thanks Gerd! I noticed on your display that you have a Medal for Veterans of Labour (I think). I have one aswell though mine is a darker colour. Does this mean that it is a different class or just in need of a polish? Cheers Tom

Thanks, it's greatly appreciated. Cheers Tom

Thanks Kevin, I appreciate it. Cheers Tom

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone has any tips on mounting, showing or cleaning medals. Thanks, Tom
