slava1stclass Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Gents, Over the years we've seen many unique, albeit unauthorized, order and medal mountings. This one (of an unidentified Full Cavalier) is a first for me. Regards, slava1stclass
Rogi Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Judging by this price taghttp://www.collectrussia.com/DISPITEM.HTM?ITEM=22667he is still going stong I don't know, the busted latch kinda ruins the whole outlook on the case itself sad really. Edited April 26, 2014 by Rogi
JapanX Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 This one (of an unidentified Full Cavalier) is a first for me. From the same series
slava1stclass Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Gents, Yes, there were Full Cavaliers who were also triple BM winners. A true 3 x 3. Regards, slava1stclass
slava1stclass Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 Gents, With no takers to date, the price on this Full Cavalier set (post #359 above) has been cut to $17,600.00. Regards, slava1stclass Gents, The asking price has been cut once more to $16,500.00. The set's price has been lowered $2,000.00 since first being offered in July 2013. Regards, slava1stclass
JapanX Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Yep. This is certainly a right move. But he is too slow ... Slump in prices is faster
slava1stclass Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Gents, This OGII to a Full Cavalier just sold at auction for $678.00. Regards, slava1stclass

Whether it sold or was returned to its consignor is unknown. Regards, slava1stclass Edited October 3, 2014 by slava1stclass
JapanX Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 ... Whether it sold or ... I think "or" :whistle:
GHB Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Stand-alone OG1 from post 362 (unissued s/n 2174) now has brothers and is offered as a full glory set on a popular auction site. On the US site but the medal is in Greece and he ships worldwide. Opening bid now $11,999 for the "full set.". GHB Edited October 15, 2014 by GHB
GHB Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Looking up the OG2 and OG3 that now accompany the OG1 S/.N 2174, it appears that they are not listed in the Book Cavaliers of the order of glory. They were not awarded to any actual recipient of OG1. It's not opening bid but rather buy it now ($11,999) or best offer. GHB

On the US site but the medal is in Greece and he ships worldwide. Opening bid now $11,999 for the "full set.". GHB Gents, As GHB notes, this is clearly a "thrown together" Full Cavalier "set." While OGI s/n 2174 is legit, it was never officially awarded and therefore has no associated OGII or OGIII. The "advertised" OGII is a doctored OGIII. The "advertised" OGIII appears legit. In offering OGI s/n 2174 as part of a "Full Cavalier set", the seller is simply trying to move the OGI at his original asking price for the OGI as a stand-alone piece. Steer clear.

slava1stclass Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Gents, This Category 4 Full Cavalier set to Aleksandr Pavlovich Timakov sold at the June 10th, 2009 Morton & Eden Ltd. auction in London. It included a PMD COA for the OGI. Sale price was 10,000 British pounds plus a 15% buyer's premium. Regards, slava1stclass
slava1stclass Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Gents, This Full Cavalier set to double OGII winner Aleksey Stepanovich Petrukovich sold at the June 10th, 2010 Morton & Eden Ltd. auction in London. Included were Petrukovich's additional Soviet military and civil decorations and associated unspecified order booklets. Sale price was 28,000 British pounds plus a 20% buyer's premium. Regards, slava1stclass
slava1stclass Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Gents, This Category 1 Full Cavalier set to Ivan Tikhonovich Rubezhniy sold at auction in the U.S. on July 17th, 2014. Sale price was $7,000.00. What is especially cool about this set is the fact the OGIII and OGI serial numbers match - legitimately so. Go figure the odds on that!

Christian Zulus Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Gentlemen, I guess, we are facing a rather weird - geographical - price situation for full cavalier sets today: In the USA a category 1 set was sold for mere USD 7.000,- (!!!). In the UK a category 4 set was sold for USD 18.500,- and a set without documents, but with quite a few extra medals, was sold for more than USD 54.000,- (!!!). What's wrong at the market for high end Soviet awards ??? Well, due to obvious reasons, the Russian collectors vanished. But - at least in Europe, on the continent - the Chinese buyers are getting stronger and stronger. It seems, that London & Germany is closer to the Chinese collectors, than the USA? Many thanks for your expertise :-) Kind regards Christian
slava1stclass Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 Gents, This OGII to a Full Cavalier is currently available at auction. Opening bid is slightly over $410.00. Regards, slava1stclass
slava1stclass Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 Gents, This OGII to a Full Cavalier is currently available on the well-known auction site for a BIN price of $1,500.00. Regards, slava1stclass
slava1stclass Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Gents, Today's market has changed considerably. At the moment, there are no Full Cavalier-related items available via the major Soviet dealers in the United States. As a case in point, for the first time in many years, the annual New York Sale has no Full Cavalier items up for auction. Regards, slava1stclass

Regards, slava1stclass Gents, He's dropped the price for this "set" some $2,500.00 to $8,999.00 as a Buy It Now auction. He has been listing the single OGI and now the same OGI as part of this concocted set for just about 18 months. As explained earlier in this thread (see posts #362, 366 and 369 above) it comes as no surprise. Regards, slava1stclass
