Bryan Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 After the discussion on the restoration medal thread, please show your medals and orders that were apparently customised by the recipient. I have seen many orders that were converted from screwback to hanger to pinback or vice versa. Please show your odd medals in this thread.I'll start with some orders I have in my collection that I have shown in other threads.Pinback conversion"Sheriff conversion"The order was apparently squeezed on the tips of the star rays with pliers, creating some kind of "Sheriff badge".So these are my only odd order. Please show yours!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Picking up on the restoration/repair thread, I am not a soviet expert but I am however interested to learn, do these modifications actually increase or decrease their desirability amongst soviet era collectors, bearing in mind that these would have been carried out by the actual recipients of the awards. They are obviously not as they would have been awarded originally.Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Oh, definite price reduction for damage, despite the increased personal history: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Here's a nice little group, I think it's owned by a fellow forum member now. Nevsky + OGPW + Red Star, all converted to pinback... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 This one was not customised, neither converted or modificated. I just find that it is a very interesting photograph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have just added this nice Order of the Red Star to my collection. I have ordered research upon reception. It is supposed to have been awarded to an East German officer. The needle has an East Geman made configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) This Red Star (3693554) is also pretty neatly done: Edited July 4, 2009 by Ferdinand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
