Interior of the small KGB doc

Interior of the doc with order of lenin etc. on the front

Great, thanks. Not an order of lenin doc (too bad). The 100 year jubilee is a foreign awardee though Guess he was what one would call an exchnage student:)

The big reddish doc with "order of lenin..." and then what? written on the top puzzles me - what is it? The big brown document has the Soviet emblam embossed and "diplom" written on it... mystery to me as well The three mongolian, small red booklets: - 1 for an early honorary medal of combat (nr 1899( - 1 for Order of the Red Banner of Labour Valour - 1 for a deputat

This board needs a shot in the arm so to speak. Have an interesting new cross-over group (Soviet/Mongolian) which I'll be posting this evening. Without the actual awards (unfortunately ) but some very nice (KGB) documents as well as a 100 year Lenin for foreigners document, and also a picture so we'll be able to look this "spy" (?) in the eyes. Hopefully some of the Russian speakers will be able to translate some of the documents as some of the text may be interesting. Natsagdorj... that names rings a bell... Scans to follow later today.

the nr you mean?

280390451253 something interesting on eBay...

350248098831 on eBay Interesting design

These for foreigners are quite rare, in fact, not even seen a document yet. Are the doc's for foreigners in any way special?

Here's a new documented group with among others: - documented order of red combat banner nr 3379 (1975) - 2 documented combat medals (one numbered No 583) - documented polar star (nr 11593, so long service presumably) - an undocumented (but belonging to the group apparently) other order (screwback nr 2877) - and a bunch of documented medals Awards ranging from mid 40's to early 90's. A long career! The group also came with some other documents which I'll try to post later. Not sure if they have a relationship to this group or are just freebies. Will post more detailed pics after return from vacation... if pictures/documents/awards could speak! http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2009/post-679-125143470435.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2009/post-679-125143468915.jpg

Is the new catalogue out? Where to download it?

No direct link, sorry. Go to zeige.com, then click on auction, then on bulgarian items and you'll quickly find the dimitrov. 2.5k euro starting bid

Bolgarin, what's your assessment of the heavy one for sale on zeige.com?

Why's the other one cheaper? Sorry for my ignorance.
