Chuck In Oregon Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 That's a very nice commemorative table medal. I just did a quick look through my book "Two Centuries of Russian Medals" by E. C Shukina (Russian text only) and it isn't illustrated in there. Nice find.I have a couple of Imperial era table medals and a drawer full of Soviet ones. I never thought about posting them because I doubted that there would be any interest. I stopped showing them to visitors due to their yawns. I like them though, for their historical significance. I'll post the few I have if there's any interest.Thanks for suggesting this thread.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck In Oregon Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 You know, a couple of years ago I passed on a very nice collection of Imperial table medals for just a few hundred bucks, most in as nice a condition as George's, and 3-4 of which were very rare. I thought at the time, "No one will ever be interested in these things." Well, I forgot ... I'm interested in them. So, all I have are occasional pick-ups like these. This is the medal commemorating the 1882 Russian Exposition in Moscow. I'd like to trade the lesser example for one I don't have.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
