Lets see your Soviet Civil Awards Groups

[ChrisKelly]

I recently acquired this group, allegedly all belonged to one man.  No award booklets. 

 

I got the book by Brezhnev seperately, and surprisingly, it's in super extra mint condition, like never been touched by human hands super extra mint condition. 

 

I thought it was fascinating, since it relates to a lesser-known subject that the lion's share of collectors have no interest in.  I thought I got a good deal.

I politely would like to express my concern about authenticity of these medals. At least two of them... or is it just unsharp pictures?

What I can confirm is that the ribbons and mounting plates are all modern replacements. The suspension ring on the Medal For Distinguished Labor was replaced with a solid sterling silver ring hallmarked "925".
