Greg Collins Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 And again, no obvious Securitate connection displayed on any of the bars... hmmmmm. Actually, the bar in this lot I find most intriguing is the forth from the bottom. 5th Class Star of Romania, Collectivization of Agriculture and a Soviet Victory Over Germany. Interesting combination.
