Dolf,

What a superb piece! :)

I believe they were not awarded consecutively, so you'll have to wait for the research.

Very nice, although I'm glad this didn't happen to mine!

I just needed to show a few pics of my latest piece. It's my first Nevsky :)

Cheers

Again a nice piece. And this is my personal favorite Order of the USSR.

Since it's very slow here this weekend here's mine again. It's been discussed before but every year or so I start to wonder about it.

I bought it here in Florida about 5 years ago for $500 (I think) which was a pretty good price back then.

It's what happened to the serial number that makes me wonder.:confused: I think the number's 28074.

What do you guys think is the story?

Eric,

Most Orders of Nevsky in the 27~28K range have signs of mint-changed SNs. I have not heard of a specific reason for that though.

I like how the black absorbs any of the stray light. Your eyes are on the subject matter and not wandering around in the background. Nice..you might try holding up a piece of translucent paper, such as tracing paper, above the award to diffuse the light a little.

EricFG · 10-02-2009, 04:03 PM

Really? That is most interesting.
I always assumed the vet tried scratching it off to hide his identity. But then I thought that any vet of the GPW, not to mention one who won a Nevsky could certainly scratch the number off completely, not the half-arsed job seen here.
I certainly love the hear some theories aboot this. :)
