Soviet Anyone knows Bronius Juozaitis?

[Gerd Becker]

Hi everyone,

i have emails from an individual named Bronius Juozaitis in my mailbox lately and would like to ask, if anyone knows this guy and has made business with him?

He is from Lithuania obviously from his email-adress.

Thanks in advance

best regards,

Gerd

Hallo Gerd,

With regards ALL unsolicited emails with regards collecting and militaria if they are offering stuff then buyer beware!!

Regardless of the fact if they are based in the EAST or WEST.

He's mainly a coin dealer, but dabbles in awards. I bought an Austrian Large Silver Bravery Medal from him and was very satisfied. He doesn't know medals that well, so does make honest mistakes. See this post.

I know nothing about Latvian awards, but the 2 he's now offering look OK to me.

Thanks, guys. I?ll give it a try, when he has something interesting.

I had a couple of emails from this individual too, never replied to him, was a little concerned that emails arrived to the address I did not use on the forums or to communicate with other collectors. How did he find it?

He's been sending e-mail to me for what seems like 10 years. I haven't bought anything from him, though I have corresponded with him a few times about items he has.

I've bought medals from him several times and a couple of Pilot's wings. I've had NO problem!!

From his latest email it looks like he has moved from Soviet Medals to American

Order of Victory

He probably feels he's situated much closer to Putin and his Soviet medal watch dogs than he is to Bush and the Stolen Valor Act!

As a policy I never respond to unsolicited mail unless of course it comes from someone I've dealt with in the past! I have also learnt to fear the some Ex Soviet Republics and am very very wary when rarely dealing with them. However, in this guys defence, its good to see that a few of you have actually dealt with him and say that he is at least reliable although not being an 'expert' in the field. Having said that, honest mistakes can still be very costly, especially if the guy does not give some sort of money back guarantee!

Well, his prices for soviet stuff are a little over the top, but he offered some named american medals for quite decent prices. I don?t know about the prices for american awards, but a named Bronze Star for 26 Dollar is not too bad, i guess.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am going to try this guy, when the opportunity arises.
