Re: Consecutive Type 2 Polar Stars!

To me it's about the fun aspect of scoring a consecutive "hit." I think the Mongolia awards are the most beautiful made by Mondvor. Of course I do wish research were available...maybe some day.

I recall the consecutive Sukhbataars at the recent NY Sale auction, I believe Russia forums said they were from reserve/unused stocks that were stolen?
I thought this was an interesting (though biased) perspective, in Russian: Аукцион Маркова - игра в напёрстки? | Red Medal

Re: Consecutive Type 2 Polar Stars!

Interesting, I was once offered (and what today would seem as a very -- laughably -- low price) a "hand of four", four consecutively numbered Polar Stars. Not late issued and quite kosher. I assumed they were a "by bureaucratic accident" unissued block flushed (not "stolen", just sold, there is a contemporary price list that would make strong men weep) out of the bank and didn't pay them much attention. But my interests are different from those of some.

Re: Consecutive Type 2 Polar Stars!

Very very nice.

Don't forget to also take pictures of the wife... Then you should have all your bases covered.

George,

I have to admit that I am kicking myself because I too thought about purchasing both of those Polar Stars when they were available. If I had though, I might not had the opportunity to reunite them as you had. Well done!

But don't ask her to stand still while you take her picture in front of the Cruiser Aurora on a cold St. Petersburg day. She probably won't understand how good it will look displayed by your Order of the October Revolution.

I tried to be patient, but have noticed fewer and fewer of these coming on the market of late. Therefore, when I saw this Polar Star for sale I pounced on it.

It is a T2V2 that is in excellent condition with a serial number of #1608. While it does have a shortened screwpost, I think it just adds character. Enjoy!:D

Re: "Polar Star" Order.

Another Order of Polar Star, 3th var post 1941, my question for you is: how is possible the low number (162) in this variation? order looks correct and no modified, maybe a duplication for a early lost or damaged award?

If you want more detailed photos, just let me know it! :thumbsup

Re: "Polar Star" Order.

Polar Stars type 2 and 3 were numbered starting from 1 again, so there's nothing out of the ordinary about this piece. It was probably awarded in 1946.

Re: "Polar Star" Order.

After selling off my Mongolian orders several years ago I found a renewed interest. Was able to pick this up last week. No. 11993 Moscow Mint manufacture
