We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

IMO, it is a very nice example with a lot of character coming from it's wear and patina.

I would have this in my ODM collection or displayed on one of my uniform ensembles anytime...

Good for you!

I have shown my six Red Stars on the forum, but they are in separate threads. I don't have a group shot sorry.

Cheers, Ade.

**Pierre N** · 06-07-2010, 07:24 PM

A real beauty

**Auke** · 06-09-2010, 06:04 PM

Yes, it's a nice MZPP piece, not Moscow Mint (monetnyi dvor).

**ObKrieger** · 06-09-2010, 07:05 PM

excuse my lack of knowledge... if its marked monetnyi dvor then isnt it a monetnyi dvor piece lol. what is MZPP?

**Bill Garvy** · 06-09-2010, 07:19 PM

MZPP refers to Moskovskiy Zavod PlatinaPribor, which is another mint. They are characterized be a unique mint stamp and "sloppy" numbering, relatively speaking.
