I don't know, but it is for sure post-war as it was made by the IKOM-Zagreb.

This is a killer helmet!

Wie viel verkaufst du es?

I really like the wear on your helmet. Wish I could find one like this for my collection! My Luftschutz helmet is unfortunately denazified. Thanks for sharing your helmets with us. I'll wait for your other pictures!

So do you have any idea which MSU could have worn yours?

Thanks for sharing your group with us Gerd. Very nice group and the first I see mounted like this with the sino-soviet medal!

What's interesting is the wear of the Soviet medals ribbons and the sino-soviet medal. I guess the vet coulnd't find replacement ribbons for is Chinese medal so he only changed teh Soviet ones on the medal bar.

Thanks again!

You have a nioce growing Yugoslavian collection! Again great display.

Very nice Dolf! I love those Red banner like you! I have only 2, but I'm planning to buy my first screwback.

The second case is just awesome. I just wanted to share my opinions even if I have already seen those cases somewhere else.

Here is a new set I have received today. (shown on an other forum).

I'm no expert, but the loop is very crude, the red star looks to small, lacks of details on the Kremlin tower, enamel looks cheap. The whole thing is very crude.

Did somebody already researched an Order of October Revolution? I was wondering if we can find something interesting while researching them.

It's funny that almost all the members who participated to this thread are also members of Soviet-Awards forum.

Like Dudeman says it is your choice, but if it was mine I would also leave it like this. I would never alter any of my medals only to do research. I have 2 Yugoslavian awards that were converted to a pinback and I would prefer to leave them as they are. I guess I'm a purist.

Very nice badges!

A cavalier set for sale on a dealer site. That is very nice!

I also asked pictures of the case, but I didn't got any.

Oh well, I couldn't get better pictures than that. The seller is not specialized in Soviet awards.

I've only ask additional pictures of the ORB. I'm still waiting. I'll post them here when (or if) I get them.

Very interesting helmet Kim. I have never seen an insignia painted like this.

And here a Red Banner cased order from the same seller. I'll ask for better scans for this one.

Numbered 27,886

I do not have better pics from the seller, but could this be a real cased Order of Glory 2nd Class with that one. Seller is asking $2,899.

Not for me yet.

By the way, it look like a Yugoslavian award case.

Damn, I was too late to buy this Order of Lenin. I should have sold my Faberg? egg to back my purchase.

By the way vatjan the pictures are still on-line, but the link is not there anymore. Here is the back for you.

By the way Ed_Haynes, Igor has no problem we post pictures from his website as long as we keep the "Atlantic Crossroads Inc." logo on the picture. You can ask him, he will answer you the same thing.

Now, I look at Ed's example and feel like I'm looking into real enamel and looking at real patina...

I don't want to contradict you, but the enamel is also real on the fake one, as it must come from a later variation.

And finally a genuine SSh-39 with the Red Star on the front. I like it very much.
