Do you guys have any good architecture books about "Russian Neoclassicism" (Stalinist architecture) to recommend? I'm not only talking about the Palace of Soviets, but a book that cover that period in general.

Maybe you are right. I really don't know, but I guess it is not too far from reality. Do you mean the Palace of the Soviets would not be seen from this angle or that the Palace would appear smaller than that?

... they had build the Palace of the Soviets.

Please don't do this next time. Christian is the Wikipedia guru, so he will for sure answer the question!

Gerd, I learned that by making an error myself when I first started collecting. I had put a cardboard piece between the screw and the order. 1 year or 1 1/2 year later I wanted to see the serial number of this Yugoslavian order. I saw the "damage" that the cardboard did to my order Look at the discolouration from the card board piece.

Gerd, I'm afraid that in 1 or 2 years you will already see that the reverse of your medals will be discoloured. Cardboard is not good for your medals, I swear. I should avoid putting your medals into contact with cardboard; otherwise you will be very disappointed in few years.

Lot more civilians were killed since the US-led invasion in March 2003. Over 34,000 civilians were killed in Iraq only in 2006, says UN report. This is much worse to my eyes. http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?News...Cr=iraq&Cr1

I have seen documents to Khrushchev 2-3 years ago for sale on eBay. They were fake as well.

He dropped it on the floor and then repaired it to sell it.

There is a nice book on Yugoslavian orders right now on eBay. Item number: 200085762023

Welcome Filip! It's nice to have an other Yugoslavian collector on the forum!

That's a bit Eurocentric.

Multiple aluminium suspension

Multiple steel suspension.

Here are 2 others. From what is made the suspension from the Caucasus medal. Steel? And here is another variation with my Warsaw medal.

Thank you Rick.

So anybody has an idea to which army belong the 63rd Independent Motorized Pontoon Bridging Battalion? Here is another scan from the page 4-5 from his Red Army book.

If you have other helmets you would like to add to this thread, please don't hesitate.

Hi Mike, welcome to the GMIC forum. I'm happy to see you here. I'll bump another helmet thread for you.

It may be possible that the dealer already ordered the research for this single order and because it is not part of a Cavalier group the dealer will then disclose the fact that he made research on it. This will give the customer the opportunity to hope it might belong to a Cavalier group. If it is part of a Cavalier group, then the dealer will not disclose the fact that he already ordered the research on it, so this single medal can bring more money for sure. I guess I'm a pessimist to think that way.

Thanks again Gerd!

Thanks for the information Gerd! Where do you take your information on Soviet division?
