Dave,

That's one nice group of Orders You always seem to have to goodies!!

Doc-

Thanks for the compliments. I was blessed to have had some really beautiful groups through my hands since starting to collect Soviet awards back in 1992. I appreciate the interest in these older ones that I used to own as it's kind of fun going back through my hard drive and taking a walk "down memory lane" so to speak.

When this group came to me, I paid $900 for it, and then with research I probably invested around another $125 into it. When I sold it for $1080 I was dissapointed, but still didn't lose anything. Some "rough" addition now would show this group be be around $2600 or so (though I'm normally off in my pricing!)
