Order of Glory II

**PapaStalin1943** · 11-16-2018, 02:27 AM

Hello everyone, I have recently found the Order if Glory 2nd class, and I was wondering if it was a fake, since I know that these are highly faked. Thanks!

P.S - (Sorry if I am posting a lot on this forum, I guess I just really like it here

)

PapaStalin,

As a beginning collect we have no problem helping, it's what we like to do here.

But the best way for you to learn this craft is to first do some self study. Compare it to originals (use the forum search function) and then post it with your thoughts as to why you think it is fake or real.

You might be right or you might be totally wrong. You won't get beaten up for it. We enjoy when we see people trying.

I gty you that by doing this you will learn much quicker and retain it much better.

Thanks, I will definitely do this from now on.

No problem. Just trying to help you start standing on your own two feet. Won't happen overnight but in time you will look back and see how much you've learned and be more the wiser.

This hobby requires countless hours of research for each item.

A good Glory

You are lucky but follow the advice of MAP ...

I also like it. Nice to see so much gold because usually this is almost completely worn off. Furthermore nice that it still has the original suspension with uncut connection ring and what looks like the original ribbon. Probably awarded in the 2nd half half of 1945.

And I fully agree with what is said above. It comes all down to study, study, study. You'll develop 'an eye' for originals and fakes. And when in doubt always ask for more opinions before spending hard earned cash

I think it's too late to study ...

Soviet Orders Display Case?

One may wonder what is the exact approach ??

Those aren't his I don't think. He was just asking about finding / buying cases like these.

I think our new member Papa is quite young and just learning the ropes.....

Ouch ! it seems that I misunderstood,

My apologies

For PapaStalin1943,

Look for something like this, it's cheap and specially designed for Soviet medals

Thanks for all of the replies, and also yes, I am a newer collector of Soviet militaria. Also, thanks for the case suggestion! I have one last question, what are your thoughts of the eBay seller 79Grunn, I heard that he is a reliable source of medals and orders, but I would like to see what others think. Thanks!
