    1. I have to admit I know little about these medals, they are Ministry rather than State awards, and they are pukka.

      They came in three class's ....

      I have seen a Russian TV star wearing a 3rd class in civvies.

      So to all you guys out there with detailed information...slam it up.

      Attached are the three classes...they did come with different ribbon bars signifying Russia and its satellite states...that I do know....these type are for Russia

      Cheers

    2. Gentlemen,

      If I may ask you for information on this piece, it is not made of silver and appears worn.

      The frames are split just like other old cross's I have.

      But, is this because it is a made for tourist piece or a genuine older item? as somebody once said to me...its a bit tatty to be worn by a KC holder.

      Thanks

      Chris
