Fabulous order. I'd like to have a well worn order like this with the booklet!

If the Nevsky set was complete, it would be a fantastic group. Your award is beautiful even alone without the rest of the group and both orders have a nice story behind.

Does it has a Sebastopol ribbon? I like very much your Stalingrad medal!

This is a very nice group!

The Odessa medal is damn expensive for a single medal. I don't have it, becauser I always prefered to put a huge amount of money in one order rather than in a single medal. I don't know what to do. They sell for around $320, I think.

It looks like an Audi to me.

Well I bought mine from that same guy last year.

As long as I know the Ukraine has similar laws as Russia concerning exports of WWII medals. It is suppose to be illegal. I also heard it is complicated to export medals from Ukraine to Russia. Concerning the prices, I guess it is the same as in Russia. No big deal to do today.

The enamel on this order is incredible. It looks like it just came out of the mint!

That's it for today.

And here are more trains insignia. Sorry to fload this thread.

Here is the one I have in my collection.

I know that this type was used on trains. I'm not sure about yours. The seller told me they were used on trains, but I don't thnik so. Yours is different than the one I could buy in Moscow. It looks like the hammer and the other tool (what is the name in english) is in 2 parts. The oldest version is in one piece.

I was in Moscow last week. I say the heavy version for sale at 3000 RB and the light version (like yours I guess) for sale at 2000 RB I guess. Here is the pictures of both.

Lucky guy Paul. So if you started in 1992, which means you were at the good spot at a great time. It must really be the flash of the camera in that case, if we have the impression the ribbons look new. Thanks for the explanations.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I will sure get my RB screwback researched. I'm just waiting for my scholarships. I've been travelling for a month or so in Europe and I just came back, so I'm a bit tight on my budget right now. So is the my student life.

Did you change the ribbons of all your medals? They all look new!

Was this used on trains?

Some people are very lucky out there!

It has been now 2 years that I collect Soviet medals. I have nothing very special, but I like what I have been able to buy during the last 2 years. I hope it will be better when I will graduate and start working for real. The Soviet medals are the core of my medal collection. I also collect WWII helmets. ---------------------------- Soviet medals collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/61029342@N00/...180866582/show/ Yugoslavian medals collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/61029342@N00/...250076885/show/ You can click on the pictures to get them on there original size.

Did anybody already been to this museum in Moscow : http://www.info4.ru/mus-e-u.html I'm going to in Moscow in 3 weeks and I would like to know if it worth to do this visit. Somebody also told me that in most of the related military museums, I'll have to resgister in advance, because we need special autorisation sometimes in order to visit these museum. Here are some of the museum I would like to visit. Do you have any idea how can I register to visit those museum? Thanks in advance! - The Central Museum of Armed Forces - The Central Museum of Federal Security Service (FSB) - The Federal Border Guard Museum - The Museum of Ministry of Internal Affairs - The Central museum of the Grate Patriotic War (WW2 1941-1945)

I can't really answer you, but I have to say that many Soviet orders looked very crude to me, but it is still a very interesting museum to visit in Berlin.

Thanks for the information!

Christophe, would you say that today's MRLS are used by country that may not have a very strong air force. So they used MRLS to replace kind of plane bombardment. Or am I totally wrong?
