Fantastic collection.

Thanks. I appreciate this.

But, these days, I expect to add not much more than reasearch. But that may be the MOST IMPORTANT PART?

[Ed_Haynes]

Not (NOT) Soviet, but I thought I might drop him in here?

I would say that Ed and Christian have very nice and mind blowing collections!

Ed, I always enjoy seeing your additions. The Red Banner of Labor for the teacher is most impressive. I love the photo in her award booklet.

Dear Paul,

many thanks for your compliments , but my small & humble collection http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26288 is just a fraction - in terms of historic and market value - of Ed's outstanding collection . Look at the wide range of groups and researched items, Ed his in his "Soviet Swamp" - just amazing .

Best regards

Christian

Ed, a very nice collection of Soviet awards.

Is it possible to track down the serial numbers on the back of the Badge of Honour?

Ed, a very nice collection of Soviet awards.

Is it possible to track down the serial numbers on the back of the Badge of Honour?

With just a serial number, no. If you have a documented item, early (pre-1943 or so) awards can sometimes be traced, but it isn't easy or cheap or certain.

The same is true for the Red Banner of Labor.

[Ed_Haynes]

Like everyone else, not much new of late, either things or research. Here is a new group that combines both things and research.

Sergeant Oleg Alexandrovich Baklan, 181st Motorized Infantry Regiment, 108th Motorized Division, 40th Army, Turkestan Military District
