Depends probably of the bearer... but, in theory only... Ch.

Andreas, Thanks for putting here the list. You know my interest for this order... For my information, could you tell me what is the source of this estimated value ? Many thanks. Ch.

Hi Hendrik, What's this ribbon ? It is not the correct one for the Ordre du M?rite Social. looks like a king size version of the CdG des TOE... Cheers. Ch.

About the copies,;what I meant is that I have seen a number of them very badly done... which IMHO is not the case of "your " Kopie". Cheers. Ch.

Andreas, Don't worry, I am talking about the fake one (Kopie)... which is a good copy BTW (rays quite visible under the enamel...). Cheers. Ch.

Andreas, This one is a good copy !!!! Ch.

It really looks like a print from an old book... Look at the border; the red color seems to dribble... Ch.

I have this one... but a mini . Ch.

Hendrik, That's a very nice breast star!!! Do you know from which period precisely between 1870 and 1940 ? Cheers. Ch.

Thanks Chuck, Clever maybe, but that's a wrong answer... Let's see if your new hints will inspire us... Ch.

It is one, and of an unusual style. Nice ! Would it be possible to see a close-up pic of it, including the back ? Cheers. Ch.

I've no idea, and not a clue... Quite a tough one... So, let's try a shot in the dark. Would it be young Nina Petrovna Khrushchev, the second wife of Nikita ? Others, any idea ? Ch.

Hi Chuck, Thanks for the challenge. A hard and tough one for sure !!! Let's try this one first, and if really no one here approachs the answer, we will challenge it and run the other one concurrently... Cheers. Ch.

The French L?gion d'Honneur and M?daille Militaire are at the centre of the display... not so bad . Ch.

Dan, Here is the link : http://www.mondvor.narod.ru/ Cheers. Ch.

Doc, I wouldn't touch it. Maybe you could ask Alexei if he know the reason why... Cheers. Ch.

I was also thinking the last medal was a single one, added or fixed to the bar... Ch.

Hi Dan, That's the most important. To make you an idea of what we meant regardong the suspension, please have a look at Soviet Dealers websites... You will find here a lot of examples that will help you making your own opinion. And don't forget the Mondvor website!!! Hope this helps. Cheers. Ch.

Interesting. There is no reason why the last ribbon is done diffrently... Ch.

Hi Dan, What is the source of this bar ? The ribbons and the suspension are very new compared to the medals which have some wear. And they (ribbons and suspension) have been put together, let's say... in a non professional manner. But this does not prevent the group to be a real one, instead of a made up one... Again, where is this group coming from ? I just hope I'm not playing the bad cop here... Cheers. Ch.

Ed, You're perfectly right... It would be interesting to see the back... Ch.

Looks like. Nice group!! Ch.

This one ? Ch. Pic : ? Christophe ? ChR Collection

These are outstanding!!! Look at this thread : http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4894 Cheers. Ch.

Very nice pics of the uniforms of Soviet Marshals Konstantin Konstantinovich Rokossovski and Fedor Ivanovich Tolbukhin. I would love to see these... Cheers. Ch.
