My Soviet awards

**Nick VR** · 07-05-2008, 04:56 PM

I started to collect these on a sideline next to my Third Reich badges, I thought they where all cheap and that they didn't make reproductions of these...

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

Hi Nick, that is a good collection. I did not realise you collected a few Soviet items too.

I think it comes as a shock to many people that these awards are now copied. Prices have certainly gone up a lot in the past few years. But they are still very reasonable compared to Third Reich awards.

Cheers, Ade.

Yes Adrian I collect Soviet medals too. Prices have gone up on these items and it seems like in all other medal branches these are faked to...

Please, will you show us closer images - obverse & reverse - of these circled in green...

I just LOVE the Order of the Patriotic War.
