Christian, I think the price is too high. I guess you saw the last one on eBay for that sold for $280 US with miniature and ribbon. I didn't buy it, because a friend of mine that sometimes go in Serbia told me I could get a better price than that. Unfortunately, the thing is that those Partisan Stars 2nd Classes don't come often for sale! My guess is that the one for sale in Wien is too expensive, but it is also true to say at the same time that ?high end? Yugoslavian orders have become more and more expensive. Nothing to compare with Soviet awards, but still getting more expensive. On the other hand, if you look the number of recipients of Partisan Stars 2nd Class compared with Soviet awards, this Partisan Star 2nd Class is still "a good price".

Soviet economy ???

Is it very common to find Soviet document issued by the Polish government? If yes, does this mean this soldier was Polish? (Pankratov?) Nikolai Semenovich Ryadavoy It is good to lean Russian, but reading handwriting is something else for me. Thanks for your help.

I wonder what kind of labor she did to get such a group!

Very nice drawing!

Eastern Europe or former USSR?

It seems easier for them to find gold as to find Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Kiev?

Thanks for your picture OoV. It seems your suspension is slightly different than mine. Is it curved and not straight?

Not yet. I have few other things to research before. I'm still waiting for my first researches I ordered a month ago.

I have just add this Bravery medal to my collectiojn. Too bad the ribbon is not WWII original and that the enamel is gone. Is the suspension a replacement? If you have documented early Bravery and Combat Service medals, I would be very interested to see them ! Medal for Bravery T1 V3 #115545 Medal for Combat Service T1 V3 #112804

And the reverse

A nice Mother Hero star for sale right now from a good seller on eBay.

Did somebody ever used Cyrillic Keyboard Stickers? I just bought some on eBay. I will see if it is good.

Any idea what happened to this statue?

You know what, I have never cared about the documents of unnumbered medals. Why? Because you cannot be sure that the document belong to your medal. I only care when they are part of a group. Otherwise single document with single medal = many chance they don't belong together!

Things go fast. They now have 3 http://www.ikea.com/ms/ru_RU/

Moderate price! Ich w?rde sagen dass er viel zu teuer verkauft! http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8816&hl

I first started to know about Soviet medals with this site : http://www.soviet-medals-orders.com/index.shtml

It is written in the other link he posted before : "Fighters Against Fascism and Capitalism."

I hope they can still ride the metro for free!

Doc, why not Moscow?
