    1. This ribbon is a good alternative until I find the real thing... If ever.
    2. Honestly? They look like crests a Russian trophy shop would use... Seen very similar articles on Russian (non military) maker web sites. The badges with the building cranes look like the logos of the Russian Agency for Special Construction, and like the logo and designs from its Soviet predecessor agency. The badge with the wrench and hammer over the column look (exactly) like the crest of the Russian Railway Troops surperimposed on the crest of the Russian Justice Ministry. The cockade at top right bears the collar insignia of Russian infantry (ground troops), potentially, possibly a Cossack prototype badge? You bought them?... Hope you paid very little...?
    3. Many many enjoyed it! I think most, like me are in awe at this item! You probably have dozens of members eagerly awaiting a development, ergo taking possession and posting more pics!
    4. It's -30C and holding... Arrggggh!

        Now that will turn by beer to slush before I can drink it.

    5. Another beautiful job! Well done!
    6. Commemorative Decoration "50 Years of the Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces" Established on January 13, 2014 by ministerial order 50. Awarded to military and civilian personnel as well as to veterans of the Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: for personal contribution to the development of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation; for diligence and initiative displayed during the performance of official or special duties, for the achievement of high performance indicators.
    7. Looks great! As usual...
    8. It's brewed in Chambly just up the road from where I live...
    9. Wow... I love personnal stories like this one. I had never before heard of the incident. Fascinating stuff! Thanks for sharing!
    10. Very very nice! My fav are the Migs...
    11. It does look exactly like a Russian Cross of St George 4th class mounted on the wrong ribbon.
    12. Good lord... Using old stuff to create modern art just doesn't do it for me... Doesn't look like the feeding, it looks more like the conception!
    13. A better look at the Chief Marshal of Aviation Kutakhov medal
    14. Yup, a new one from the Defense Ministry... Commemorative Badge "100 Years of Air Defense" Established on November 14, 2014 by ministerial order 828. Award document
    15. Even after reading this, I have no clue how to "wash"... Looks awesome bud!
    16. The "incident" happened on a small auxiliary coastal vessel mostly manned by reservists... This will definitely NOT improve relations between the reserve and full time sailors!
    17. In my simple plain English... WTF??
    18. And these more recent photos of the event winners...
    19. I think the neck ribbon has been replaced by a standard Defense Ministry coloured one and that the medals were reduced in size and hung from the standard Russian pentagonal mounts, unfortunately, all I have to base that statement on is the poster in post #1 of this thread. The 4th to 6th medals from the right in the 2nd to last row.
