      Order of the Red Star - Soviet Union
      This is one of the more beautiful awards. I love the red enamelling in these.

      Those are beautiful Gary. How can you tell that these are post 1944?

      Kitty Tale
      Hahaha. Great one. Is this your cat?

      I am sorry that I cannot add anything of significance to the topic, but I am very interested in seeing what the answer is. That is a great photo to start off the conversation.

      The only thing I can think of that would use something similar to this are the railway offiicals, on their collar tabs. I do not know the diminsions or etc.

      Beautiful!!! I cannot imagine a more pristine example!

      Yes, but what are the odds of there being a front line Coast Guard unit that was under the complete control of the Coast Guard? This has never happened before(as far as I know). Even today, in the Middle East, the Coast Guard is under the Tactical Control of the Navy and in one case, the Army.

      Amazing that items that are almost 200 years old can survive in such pristine condition!!! Those pieces are awesome!

      It is attractive, but I dont know if I like it. IT seems a bit flashy. I really like the look of the Navy Cross. Everytime the Coast Guard is on the Front Lines, it is under the control of the Navy. I do not really know of a situation, outside of an invasion, where a Coast Guard member would be eligible for this medal.

      Only 60 medical personnel to support all of those men?!
    11. Paul R
      That is a beautiful bar. Nice and rare! I love it.
    12. Paul R
      Nice Score!! Can you please post the medals and etc?!

      I just found something else that cost more to make than it can be sold for: My John McCain 2004 Presidential Campaign sticker.

      That is a great photograph of a highly decorated officer candidate.

      Thank you. I do have a couple of friends in Russia. I will ask to see what they can do. I was lucky enough to get a really nice Lifesaving Medal(the new type) from Ebay about 8 years ago.

      Ghosts?
    17. Paul R
      Is there really such a thing?
    18. Paul R
      So I should check any of the ones I find here before I make the purchase.
    19. Paul R
      Are there any more Soviet awards for this uprising? Was there a campaign or general service medal awarded to all of the Soviet participants?
    20. Paul R
      What do you have that's now worthless... Iraqi Dinar from the Saddam era.
    21. Paul R
      As a collector in the US, you can own any medal except for the Congressional Medal of Honor.
    22. Paul R
      You can get them for field related illnesses that require hospitaliztion(although I do not know how many of them occur these days).
    23. Paul R
      The Stolen Valor Act is no more... it was deemed to be against a person's First Ammendment right to free speech.
    24. Paul R
      Yes! That one. I have not been able to find one recently. These basically replaced the Order of Lenin, right?
    25. Paul R
      Some more great examples. Thanks Scowen! Were these just membership pins, or were they given out as awards?
