Kind of unrelated, but when I visited Russia in 2006 they had this huge poster up in St Petersburg for Victory Day. Cool concept, but it really bothered me they used a picture of the 1985 GPW-2 instead of a "real" one. I wonder how many people thought the same thing, probably quite a few actually. George |

Re: Ebay jokes
Well, at least it's original (except for the replaced enamel of course)... If this is that part your incomplete OPW1 was missing I can see someone bidding on it

I've seen those bits of 'harvested' OPW1s before along with starless Heroine orders.
At least they're being offerd to collectors who might give them a good home. Not so much a joke, more like bizzare, but possible.

Could it be an archaeological discovery?

This seller's been selling (or at least trying to sell) overpriced (very) low end pieces like this for years - it's already covered earlier in the thread. Obviously doesn't work as a sales tactic.
Really honours those who made sacrifices and great efforts for the Soviet Union. Quote:
Going through this long and old thread I've found one of the very best quotes on the forum. If only folks would have listened 10+ years ago. There certainly should be more "look at the amazing feats this person did!".
