    1. I would have thought not Bob. You'd have to go through official sources and they'd be more interested in how and why the award left the country.
    2. Bob, original Soviet awards are prohibited to be sold, as in Russia. However in Belarus the law is much more strictly applied!
    3. Here is a nice 3 piece badge for the Belarusian militia in Brest. Note the Brest Fortress device in the centre! If you look closely at the back you will see a street scene 'engraved' that is not repeated on the obverse. Unusual but interesting!
    4. These children possibly are all 'regiment's sons'. It is interesting how they all look actually quite happy.. amazing pictures Soviet!
    5. Actually that would make a nice and rare collecting field, German and Austrian pre-war Communist items.
    6. Hi Dave! I think you've hit on the quandry I have. If I buy a damaged item it's left as is, but if I'm responsible for damage ought I not try to put it right? The difficulty is of course actually 'putting it right'. perhaps people should show pictures of repaired awards done well!
    7. Ed, I think I have an original combat service medal ribbon that I got in a bag of Soviet things, it's nicely worn, and if you decide to remount the medal, you can have it!
    8. If you get it damaged, leave it. But if you break it, it's up to you to fix it!
    9. Just as a guess, I'd presume it was in some sort of trade union building..(probably in Leningrad or Moscow?)
    10. I started off collecting uniforms, and as such this was possibly the first award I bought. It's on a female 1935 pattern airforce gymnastiorka.
    11. There's a very nice photobook of this battle too (in Russian and Mongolian) but tends to be rather expensive.
    12. Just acquired this one. Pretty much the same as Bob's, but with a less 'wooly' ribbon.
    13. Here's mine, (thanks Elvis!) Very nice silky ribbon too.
    14. Nice deputy badge! Like you say its influence is clear!
