my little soviet display!!

[paddywhack]

finaly cased up some of my favourite soviet medels! its weird seeing them like this as id never have thought i would have ended up owning a lenin red october or a nevsky!! but life is weird and i do!! the thing in the top right hand corner there is a cap star that was found in a berlin suburb by a irish building worker that was over there a few years ago doing building(surprizinlgy!!! ) but what do you guys think of it???thanks

Nice display. I especially like the original ribbons.

[paddywhack]

yeah i love orgianl ribbions that have a nice bit of waer to them! i know one dealer that as soon as he gets a medals takes off the orginal ribbion and replaces it with a new one!! why!! cos he says his customers prefer it that way!!!

[Roy Queen]

Very nice collection, and very well displayed!

[Sturmgewehr]

Nice! I like your display. I have only 4 soviet medals but I do enjoy them. I want a Lenin !

[paddywhack]

thanks guys!! i actuly got the lenin off the forum! i saw it and was himming and hawing over it for a day or two and finaly said screw it and bought it!! the nesky was being in the right place at the right time! a mate of mine was in town and said did i want to buy one of 2 he had so i bought the one with the lowest serial number! dont know if i could get one nowadays!! also with the red october the dealer let me pay in to payments without even me asking so i jumped on it!! the red stars are high 80,000 ,the same with the 1st and 2nd class patroit war! the red banner is intresting cos the vet who had it turned it into a screw back and then turned it back in to the orginal suspention!!! the combat merit i just love cos its a 4 sided suspention and has nice low digit serail number! the order of glory nothing specail about it i just like it!!!
then the cap stars and nice to! the one found in berlin is cool for that reason and the other one is just a nice early 50ish one!!! so there my favourite peices form my collection at the mo but i love the way the green goes against the red to!!!!
thanks again guys!!

A dealer? A dealer of what?? A delaer above all should know better.

Hey paddywhack, that is one nice collection. Congratulations.
Funny how this Soviet stuff sneaks up on you, isn't it?

Best wishes from another unsuspecting soul somewhere beyond hope.

wow.. nice

what sort of case have you got?

[Bob Hritz]

Very nice. I am just getting into Russian medals and orders. It is a good time to buy as prices have dropped, in the last year. I am looking for an Order of Glory Cavalier group, which will be a bit tricky, but possible.
