Have you ever saw something like that?! Better pictures will be posted as soon as I get the piece Cheers, Nick

Quite unbelievable news. We already saw the woman suspension made in bronze ... Now it looks like there were bronze pieces that were silver colored!!! Check this out.

For basic info about this order please go to http://en.wikipedia....rder_of_Courage Meanwhile we`ll go straight to the silver ORIGINALS The lowest number that I know

Hmmm... I don`t know about that Lukazs You see 4th and 3rd class are not that prestigious as order of Lenin was. Actually they very often award 1st class (in defiance of statute) as 1st award.. This happen especially often in case of bigwig`s ... Quite unexpected comparison :)

And looks like you were talking about this restriction ;)

Better? :)

Could be BTW, great site you created Dave! Many thanks! Regards, Nick

:lol: Indeed Dave! Wrong set of pictures (I wonder what I was thinking while posting them - where is the elephant?!) Next goal - find the right set (I wonder where the hell is it?!) Cheers, Nick P.S. You sure right about the ribbon ;)

Frank, actually you can go to jail for selling and buying RF or Soviet awards inside Russia

I wasn't talking about "asking prices", but about actual prices at which the deals are actually sealed ;)

10 years ago there was completely defferent market with completely different prices ... 2002-2008 changed everything ... Strongly disagree The harder the restrictions - the higher the prices and vise versa ... That's why soviet "stuff" costs less even at Ukrainian market ;)
