[Guest Darrell]

Guys,

Although these are spreadout in various threads with groupings etc. it appears there is no ONE thread devoted soley to the Order Of Lenin Medals. Post yours ... screwbacks .. early ones, late ones ... lets try to keep it down to just the medals.

Here's my pride ... a T6V1:

If those don't get your heart beating fast, then this isn't the hobby for you.

I love the one presented to the guy in what I think of as a Georgian uniform.

Alas, I have sold the last of my Lenins. I hope that this year I'll find a couple more.

Thanks Darrell, for posting my Lenins, someday I would like to find out how to do it myself and yes, I have to also learn how to reduce the file size.

Lenins are my favorite Soviet Order and I purchased my first one in Moscow in 2002, paid I think, $675. A lot at the time, but I will make it back.

I incourage Ed and everyone else to post theirs too.

BTW, I am looking for S# 16,880.

Alan & Darrell,

I use IrfanView software to reduce the size of a PIC. Go to Download.com. It's a free download and the program is easy to use.
