Very impressive array of medals, Ed. The Russians have always seemed to have shown appreciation for their veterans.

I saw one of these at the Yerevan flea market today - thought it was interesting, but something else caught my eye so I never asked about it to the dealer. Any idea on how much one of these might be worth?
