Sure thing! I'll post the scans up here in a little bit. Yes, he was with the Black Sea Fleet Aviation as a (as I remember) Regimental Commissar. Thus the reason he ended up as "head of security" at the Conference - one of those great "multi-taskable" Commissars! Dave -
And that may explain why it was never researchable! I'd love to see the order book close up again, if you have a scan of it. Since I sold the group originally, I feel responsible for the fact that the book was fake and I feel it my responsibility to offer to buy the group back at the price I sold it for - $950. Dave

Try looking on eBay for the more common items: http://collectibles.search-desc.ebay.com/r...rchiZQQsaprcloZ Also, there are a number of reputable auction houses that have document/manuscript/autograph sales on a fairly frequent basis which often include a good number of Revolutionary War documents.

By the way, the owner of this group was in a rather famous photo that probably most of you have seen. Here it is, with him highlighted on the right. He was "head of security" for the Conference, and was nominated for the Nakhimov 2nd Class for this. Instead, he received his OGPW1 (talk about a pricey downgrade!) -

Sadly, the sale of this group (for a whopping $1200) ended quite bitterly. I sold it on eBay to a collector in New York, using very clear scans (I can post them here if anyone is interested, but the one of the OGPW2 was part of those scans). The guy got the group and screamed about the broken enamel on the OGPW2, which I didn't state in my description (I figured it was obvious enough!) The buyer threatened to post negative feedback and smear me on a couple forums for being a dishonest seller unless I refunded him 10% of the purchase price. After going back and forth with him several times, he ended up getting group for $1080. Oh yeah... I sold that group three years ago... now imagine what it's worth! Dave -

The Ushakov Medal used to be my favorite medal. I had a bunch... and sold them... and then couldn't afford any more! Back when I could buy them for $350-$400 each, here are some photos of the ones that I had...
