Soviet Collection

[Darrell]

It was about time I pulled everything out of their containers / cases etc. to take a group photo.

I'm expecting a Defense of Sevastopol / Defense of Odessa and Liberation of Belgrade in the next couple of weeks to round it out a bit.

Hope you enjoy.

You have a very impressive collection of Soviet medals! When you receive your Odessa/Sevastopol/belgrade medals, will that complete your WWII campaign/capture series?

Roy ... thanks. Yes it will. The Capture / Liberation / Defense series will be complete

[Adrian Stevenson]

Excellent collection.

How long did it take you to find all of these?

Cheers, Ade.

Very nice, Darrel. So you have the Campaign Medals complete now. I guess, it will take some time, before i have them all, because i mostly buy groups lately, but i hope maybe one day....

Very nice, mate.

Darrel,

the 25 years of Victory medal(badge) is the only Victory-Medal missing. It was an official Medal, so it should be in that set. Here is one of mine:

Cool. Never saw that one before ... I guess the list never ends

Nice collection, Darrell!!!!I'm glad to see a fellow Sopviet collector here. I wish my camera was working as I'd add a shot or two of my collection. It's very similar to your only I don't have all the defense/capture medals yet.

>Never saw that one before ... I guess the list never ends
Ha! It never does, does it? But that's part o' the fun.
I'm considering adding the Umlatova (sp?) awards to my collection as they just seem to fit in so well with the real communist awards; especially the anniversary medals.

Did you know Paul Schmitt is a semi-regular here at W-A.com?
