Karl Marx (1818 - 1883) Gentlemen, let's celebrate today the great philosopher and economist Karl Marx, who died exactly 125 years ago . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx Without Karl Marx we would have fewer outstanding items to collect and the section of "Soviet & Communist Era Militaria & Awards" wouldn't exist at GMIC . Best regards Christian

Dear Christophe, I did a big mistake with the artist of that magnificent aviation painting : It's Mark Postlethwaite http://www.posart.com/ , who is also an active member at http://ehangar.com/index.php . I already corrected my two postings. Sorry for my mistake ... Best regards Christian

Gentlemen, I am going to present some items of my Soviet Awards Collection here at the "Collectors Showcase". In the posts I show at least one photograph of the award or the group and I put the link to the specific thread(s) in the GMIC-Soviet-Section, where there are much more and far better pics of the award(s) and the documents + all the expertises & commentaries of GMIC-members. I will start with some documented groups, then the military awards, labour awards, badges, ID-booklets and photographs. Please have a look at the end of this thread, where I posted some new photographed items . Best regards Christian
