Paul WOW!!!
Order of Friendship of Peoples (Ordena Druzhba Narodov)
Such an impressive award, colourful and heavy. I love it.
Got five of them, in the picture are the four I display with other awards in the collection.
My favorite by looks is the 1918 order of the red banner
A tough one but in my collection, I think design wise this one

"In all my years as a soldier, I have never seen men fight so hard." - SS Obergruppenfuhrer Wilhelm Bittrich - Arnhem
Well, it is a tough choice and I am lucky enough to have examples of all those so far shown which are all favourites for different reasons. So, not wanting to add one already seen I picked this one which was a birthday present some years ago and was mentioned as an equal favourite above;
The Order of the October Revolution.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
A lovely piece Marcel
My collection is crying out for one
