Obergefreiter Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks, Dave. This is listed on evilBay for $109:00, OBO. I am somewhat leery about buying something from Estonia, especially something that cost that much. Best Regards, Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiDave Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Nick, This might be a little steep... norge-nord04 on ebay has a batch of them at 19 Euro each - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Orden-d-Wiederstandes-gegen-amerik-Agression-Laos-1-Kl-/300632158964?pt=Militaria&hash=item45ff12b2f4 Lao PDR is not a popular collecting area, so they don't usually get very expensive. However, on the aspect of purchasing from Eastern Europe - I haven't had any problems with this, and I think that ebay protects the buyers pretty well in this aspect including having some amount of payment protection.

Obergefreiter Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks again, Dave. You just saved me about seventy-five bucks. I can see where Lao awards wouldn't be a big mover. I wouldn't want one myself were it not for a small project that I'm working on. Anyway, thanks again, and take care. Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
