Chris S Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 The pair a bit closer....these orders I believe were very underrated by the collecting community and are beginning to pick up interest...I personally find the design of this medal to be the ultimate in Soviet ImageryChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyFCO Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Here's a nice group that I just recently sold with not one, but three Orders of Lenin! Will post some more photos shortly... This fellow was the Soviet "Phillip Morris" - he was awarded his HSL for tobacco farming success! This group was bought directly from his family about two years ago.

Ed_Haynes Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 As some interest had been expressed in seeing more of the documents in the stack of paper surrounding the Lidias Vasilovna Shapovalona's group, and as my Soviet stuff is visiting from the gulag this weekend for a major scanning project, here are a few more pieces of her paper, in no particular order: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 While sohe may denigrate groups such as these, I suggest that they tell us more about the historical reality of the erstwhile USSR than does a HSL for Stalingrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
