Re: Set of long service medals
$150 is more than enough for a RS with doc. But it would be a long service one. Research is not difficult from anywhere. Couple of members on this forum can help you. If not let me know I'll give you contacts for the person I have done research with.
Just a quick clarification is the persons surname in buclet 'Lysova' ?? or Lysov? Robert is a man's name

Re: Set of long service medals
Thanks ph3s, I'm just going off what was written on the ebay sale. Once I get them I'll post up a few close up shots so someone with translation skills can have a look.
Would be pretty neat if it was a Lt 'Lysova Roberta Petrovicha!', perhaps she flew Po-2's...
I'd been keen to get a combat red star if I could, rather than a long service award. What sort of price would I be looking at for a combat award, and where would I look that is trustworthy?

It was a man, Robert Petrovich Lysov
Will send you a PM regarding Orders of the Red Star for sale.

Re: Set of long service medals
Hi guys,
Well my awards arrived from Riga, Latvia today. Was a nice surprise after work. Here are a couple of pictures.
Attachment 356591
They are in very nice condition and book has a nice 'old house / aftershave' smell to it. I would like to think they were part of an estate.
Auke offered me a WW2 red star with booklet for a very reasonable price, so I bought that off him this morning. Hopefully that will turn up in the next few weeks.
To round out my collection a little, I also purchased a small grouping from ebay. I was only looking for a guards badge but I found this little grouping that included a germany victory medal, and a few other miscellaneous awards such as a Zhukov medal and various anniversary medals - unfortunately they do not belong to the same person, but was a pretty reasonable price. Here they are:

That will do me for now, but I think I would like to get a Defense of Stalingrad medal and perhaps an actual peice of war wreckage - perhaps a shell fragment or something next.
This collecting business grows on you!
