A few Red Star Orders...

[545x39mm]

Greetings ! I just became aware of this forum. I started collecting Soviet era Orders back in 1992 shortly after the fall of the CCCP. Most of my Soviet items were bought from vendors at shows on the west coast of the US, as well as from a gentleman I met who lived near Moscow.

Red Star Orders were pretty cheap back then and I would buy them from my friend. In all I think I have around 100 or so RSO's..

I don't know the serial numbers of them off hand, but at some time in the near future I'll make a list. I'll also have to take some higher resolution pic's as these are pretty old and just not as good as can be done today.

Hi, and welcome to the forum. Brilliant collection of Soviet medals. My only concern is, do you have enough?

Very nice collection! Would love to see some close-ups. Have you researched any of them? And I'm curious, what was the price of a Red Star in 1992?

Hopefully I will get some time in the near future to take more pic's.

As I remember prices were around $10.00 But it depended on how many I bought at a time. I remember buying as low as $8.00 when I bought ten or so from my friend in Russia.

Very impressive collection. Looking forward to hearing about the research on these Stars..

I have one in my collection and have wondered how I would go about trying to research it. There are members on here who may be able to assist us both..

A fantastic collection!

It will be interesting to see if there are any low numbers !

Thanks for the uploaded photos, photosharing sites always fail eventually and make the thread useless.
You have a beautiful collection and it should be enjoyed.
