Got this today already, these are a cool looking award. I thought it would be bigger though lol It came with the research, both in Russin and English. He built alot of bridges. Weird, it won't upload the scan of the Russian letter. At lesat the English came through.

There's one small chip, otherwise it's in really nice shape

Nice one, Pete! I was surprised by how small they are too... But they do have a satisfying heft to them!

Thanks Joe, yes they do have some weight to them, now I'm wondering how to beef up my display idea so it doesn't tip forward and lay against the glass lol

I'd love to see your display! Maybe I could offer some suggestions?

I think all I need now is some scarlet felt. I have a shadow box, an M1895 Nagant revolver, and my Bravery and War Service along with this Order. I'm thinking about adding a Guards badge as well, I'll have to add these to the box and see how much room I have. I'm heading to the fabric store tomorrow(I won't have to fight the women like I do on the weekends) after I go shooting, so maybe I can show you a rough draft.
