Guest Rick Research Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The small versions (PINBACK, no more nasty clothes-destroying screws! ) are certainly neater and more elegant than the "human pincushion" look so beloved since tsarist times. But why are they so EXPENSIVE? Surely the full-sized versions do not cost that to make, now that nothing is real gold or real silver or real enamel any more. All togetheer mounted medal bars would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the full-sized versions do not cost that to make, now that nothing is real gold or real silver or real enamel any more. Аll official RF awards (including miniatures) are made in real silver, real gold and with hot enamel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
