One word for the group, wow Order of Victory

I collect Soviet Medals because of there symbollism and idolgical signifficance in the former USSR But as the money is running out and pthe prices are getting higher I am getting more into researching them Order of Victory

Thanks Gerd and you have not even seen the citation yet The researcher said that high Kutuzovs were often issued for planning campigns rather than fighting them, but the only way to find out properly would be to research it, so watch this space Order of Victory

Wow tahanks Gerd You spotted one I did not see, every time I look at I see another award I agree withyou on the dates I was just asking the researcher about researching his Kutuzov and he says it would no be particulary intresting Order

Now heres his other awards I will post the rest when i comes back from translation Order of Victory

Well the research has finally arrived First up pics of the award

There are far too many hair-thinning gray heads at any OMSA meeting and so few young collectors. Maybe fakes from eBay drive them away? As a younger member of the forum, the fakers on ebay made me expand my knowlege. But I dont see there being any thing wrong with spending money on fake of Soviet Medals that you will never be able to buy or buying them untill you have the real one and then selling the fake. I spent a few hundred dollars on an Order of Victory just to fill the gap, and that is the only copyI have ever willingly bought I personaly dont like the term fake, I find that replica or copy a better term Order of Victory

Thanks to Gerd, I am now the current custodeon of this award Order of Victroy
