Christian and Ed, Thank You for the information about a subject that hits home...Fellow Medics. The award criteria is very interesting!!! Thank You, Doc
I would also recommend a basic tool kit. This kit should include: 1) Magnifying Glass or Loop 2) Needle nose pliers 3) ruler 4) Calipers For making displays: 1) Velcro 2) straight pins 3)small nails/brads 4) child's Non-Toxic glue stick 5) glue gun 6) felt 7) Small hammer General: 1) jewelers screwdriver kit 2) Plastic Medal Sleeves This should be a good start. Doc
Soviet, I guess I should have stated " to buy those medals and the document representing those three medals". I say this because of the higher prices and rarity of those medals and documents. Doc
Ed, I agree 99% with Ya!! A Defense of Sevastopol, Odessa or the Polar Region with documents would be an excellent investment. You can get the rest of the campaign Medals later after you get the upper end stuff. Of course, I agree 100%...BOOKS, BOOKS & BOOKS. Read all you can!! Doc
Gerd, IKEA is all over the USA. I use Michael's (A Huge Chain of craft stores) for my shadow boxes. I agree with Ya 100% It's how I learned the best way FOR ME to make my displays. Doc
Gerd, Thank you for posting this primer for those new to Soviet ODMs. I can't think of anything to add except maybe a link to the OMSA Medal database Soviet section: http://www.omsa.org/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=586 Excellent work, Gerd Doc
