are you the medal dealer who own that shop near trafalgar square in london?

No, but I may have sourced one from there.
I really hoover up the DPRK items when I see them at the right price. If you look at all the items and variations I have posted in the DPRK section that is nothing like the complete selection. I got very overwhelmed just by sheer number and many types and variations have not only to be posted but I have to find them in my pile first. One I posted recently had been sat in front of me for months and I finally decided to look at it and it was immediately obvious it was yet another variation to record.

I may get inspired to do some more sorting next year but the door is closed on DPRK items for this year. Hundreds and Hundreds that I haven't even looked at yet that I am struggling to store let alone display.

well i only traded it about 2 weeks ago.

i did it have it up for sale at the vbclassified's here but i dont think anyone wanted it.

Maybe not the one. I picked one up for $16 and the other for $20. This just means there are even more of these out there than I was tracking! The market is getting saturated even with me pulling them off as quickly as I can.

Its a wet day off work, perfect day for a spot of framing.

2 very small "groups"

One to a film protectionist, the other, a Ukrainian GPW vet.

Finally got around to doing this. For some time now I've had a framed set of soviet "medals" which were supposedly made up for "Hunt for Red October" although I never saw them used in the film. They are imaginative to say the least. I wanted to recreate a more honest representation. Of course if the house catches fire, I want to make sure people toss the right one (the one with real lenin, OG2, and october revolution) out the window.

After this impending fire happens remember not to tell the insurance man you threw the goodies out.
Any chance of closer pictures of the props?

[Jeffrey Meffert]

it's a bit hard though the glass and i don't want to take apart the rear. Interesting that all of them have a tsarist-like embellishment at the top. First up is bulldozered Lenin, followed by Stalin impersonating W.C Fields and the very rare order of Kutuzov of the October revolution.

And you have the order of red banner run over by a train, the rare Order of glory 2nd class via Nakhimov medal. Finally you have the Combat Service Medal via Ushakov medal. I guess since we were dealing with soviet navy, we had to have the naval orders in there somehow...even if only on their ribbons
