    Hero star and lenin order ...Help?

    Hello Gentlemen;
    I am contemplating purchasing these two medals. They have a little red book in which both are entered and numbered. They were awarded at the same time.
    I am fairly new to collecting soviet orders but still I have good feelings about these and can see no red flags. These are the only pictures I have. Can anybody give any critique? Negitive or positive, I'd like to hear any opinion.

    Thanks,
    Ken

    Unless the person you're buying these from has an ironclad return policy I'd say don't even consider buying as the Orders are *heavily* faked.

    There's not too many real experts on Soviet ODMs on WAPF anymore although Mr. Schmitt drops in every once in a while.
    I'd recommend gmic.co.uk as there are a few more well informed folks in their Soviet section. I recommend the soviet-awards.com forum even more highly as there are real experts and actual dealers there who are willing to give their opinions.
    There's a great spot on the web for view highres images of Soviet ODMs: mondvor.narod.ru You will need a little knowledge of Russian at first but a translator page will help with that.

    Good luck!
    Thanks,
    Eric Gaumann

      Agree with EricFG. There are so many fake Soviet awards out there, that I don't even bother buying anything, unless it's from a dealer I know and trust (Atlantic Crossroads/Collectrussia.com is a good one!).

      Be careful.

          order

          As stated, soviet-awards.com is the best bet for educated responses.
