The point is that if your real Khmelnitsky gets stolen - you are in the hole for $3000-4000 and that money are gone for good, as most of us have no insurance that covers awards.

On the other hand, if something happens to a copy - it could be easily replaced for $100-150.

Trust me, none of the people would know the difference just by looking at the flag or a display.

This sounds crazy, but I've heard of a collector who was buying genuine awards for his marshal/admiral uniforms. I am not talking about cheap items such as Red Banners - he bought Ushakov 2nd class from ******** to put on a uniform...

Can you imagine how much his uniforms are worth today?!?!
