Really very, very, very lucky!
Why don't we have nothing like that, at least as far as I know?!... ![]() Maybe in the UK or Germany, but not where I live anyway... ![]() Dolf |

One more show...
There's also the ASMIC show that takes place quarterly at Ft Belvoir, Virginia. They are held the first Sunday of the month - the next one will be in November. The show is about 80% US, then German, with a few Soviet bits thrown in for color. Never know what might pop up though!

Well I attended my first show today in Ottawa. It was a great event and it permitted me to meet Shawn AKA otlichnik on this forum. I must admit though that I was somewhat disppointed in the militaria show as I found the pricing of awards out of this world. Even one Chernobyl medal/badge was being passed off as a Russian police medal. So I was pretty disppointed until I came around to otlichnik's table. Well what a nice person he is. We both hit it off and realized we belonged to this forum. He had so many awards with him, and very nice ones. I ended up buying an Order of Glory 2nd class, and three others. I will post it in the fakes forum just to make sure it is fine tomorrow. And I even held an Order of Nevsky in my hands.... I had to leave it as my wife was giving me the look of... well you know that look!! Thanks Shaun for saving my day at the show.

![]() Did Shawn let you understand he had doubts about their authenticity ? If he told you they are "real", I think you can trust in him... ![]() If not, - and after all - you are right, two checkings are better than one. And a misjudgement is always possible... I'm sure experts of the Forum (and amongst them, Shawn... ![]() A last word: congratulations for your finds; nowadays, it is so difficult to find interesting items in shows or markets... Cheers.

I have no doubts in Shawn's credibility or honesty, he even gave me a written guarantee and he knows I will be posting it in the forum.

Dannybou,
That's really a good thing to buy from people you can trust in... Very good for your peace of mind; very good for your collection; and I agree, it doesn't prevent you to check it twice. ![]() Cheers and Happy hunting. Ch. PS : BTW, the manner you expressed your point could let think you had doubt... "... just to make sure..." ![]() |
