Do it, Paul, do it, Paul, do it, Paul, do it, Paul!!!!!!!!!!!

But this is a non-wearable table "medal", right?? Any images of the real ones?

Very nice, many thanks for posting.

Please! ?Por favor!

So sad, maybe some day.

And, these days, it often is even if you (think) you know what you're buying.

Comments and wisdom are welcomed.

And the interior marking.

Close-up.

The cap.

And the sleeve.

Reflecting my main interests: There are holes for two decorations on the left chest. What? There are no clear impressions. Closeup on collar.

The uniform.

Wonderful, many thanks! It is VITAL to assemble the basic sources before we have any hope of understanding these items. You have done us all a great service. Now, off to learn Spanish . . .

Than's just the nickname.

The medal has a eBay identification of almost anything you can imagine. Some defy credibility. On Soviet: "The Comprehensive Guide to Soviet Orders and Medals", McDaniel and Schmitt, 1997 A source, not the only one: http://collectrussia.com/DISPITEM.HTM?ITEM=11010

A very plausible career reconstruction, Leigh.

Thanks for the heads-up.

He is, I believe, doing more and more imperial and less and less CCCP. A function of supply. As yet, no dark clouds have gathered over imperial awards (except the super-stratospheric stuff) they way they have over the Soviet things. He is, in the final analysis, a businessman and will sell whatever he can get and whatever people (both in the Motherland and in the "West") want to buy. He even now has some Third Reich stuff! He also has some considerable capital tied up in several super-high-end Soviet solo items and groups and, even for him, the basics of ECON 101 still apply.
