slava1stclass Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) To all: Currently listed on the well-known auction site. I have my suspicions about the integrity of this "set." Note that no official stamp appears on the photo.Regards,slava1stclass Edited June 12, 2006 by slava1stclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondvor Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Very nice group! Five years ago it belonged to fellow collector in Germany. He probably sold it out recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I agree!!! That's a group i'd LLove to have in my collection. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Becker Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Very nice group! Five years ago it belonged to fellow collector in Germany. He probably sold it out recently.Andrew, do you remember any more info about this group? He got his Glory 1st in 1968, would that have been a belated WW 2 - award?

slava1stclass Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 To all: It went unsold. Last bid was $4,050.00. My suspicions were confirmed.Regards,slava1stclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 OK, I'm confused. We seem to have 2 different opinions. Is this group real, or not?If not, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Why would the picture of the reverse sides of the medals still have the 1st Class with the attachment ribbon flipped over? Something to hide? Edited June 27, 2006 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alanirvine Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Doubt that there is much to hide on the reverse of a suspension.However, the diameter of the silver attaching ring looks large and possibly thin too.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alanirvine Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Yes they are!Andrew (MONDVOR), does the order book look correct? I mean, the ink and the writing style look fresh and all the same?Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBoy Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I saw the same thing. All his previous orders were added to the new booklet issued for the Slava 1st in 1968, instead of the Slava 1st being added to his original order booklet. That can happen of course if the old one is tattered or lost, but it makes it a little harder IMO to accept the group as authentic.Matt.Yes they are!Andrew (MONDVOR), does the order book look correct?

slava1stclass Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 So what's the deal here... ??? Not one person can step up to the plate and make a definitive statement as to authenticity?To all: Having focused exclusively on Full Cavalier sets going back some 15 years, my judgment remains as expressed in Post 1 above. While some components of this "set" may be original, it does not bear the hallmarks of a genuine group. Several of the reasons for this are discussed in the above posts. Personally, I would advise forum members to steer clear. Even NavyFCO's/Dave's two consecutively numbered Full Cavalier groups (exhaustively discussed in another forum thread) would be a better expenditure of your money.Regards,slava1stclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Even NavyFCO's/Dave's two consecutively numbered Full Cavalier groups (exhaustively discussed in another forum thread) would be a better expenditure of your money.That is, if they weren't sold already.

Mondvor Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Yes they are!Andrew (MONDVOR), does the order book look correct? I mean, the ink and the writing style look fresh and all the same?AlanI'm sorry for late answer. I was in Kiev for two weeks and came back only three days ago. About Rulev's orderbook. You can see that it was filled out in 1968, so this is a duplicate book. That's why the ink looks fresh. But there also was an old (original) oredbook in this group. Take a look.

Mondvor Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 So this new duplicate book was given to Rulev when his second Glory 3rd class was replaced for the 1st class order. Also I have images of his personal record card. If anybody interested I can post them on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 The set has been re-listed again:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=018The scary thing is, everytime he lists this it's about a ~$50 USD...... EACH time he re-lists!Now that's tenacity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
order_of_victory Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I think Stogieman that is a different set, 2nd class on the new set is Boader Reverse and number is numbered 21 Order of Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
