I saw this group sold on eBay and last two entries in the book look suspicios to me.

OPG definitely does nopt belong here and should be in separate book. It seems that Service to Motherland was also added.

What do you think?

New World,

This was my thinking exactly when I got this group couple of years ago. just out of curiosity I had the "Crab" researched, and it turned out the group was legit. I guess the recipient wanted to have all his orders listed in the same booklet, and had probably made this entried himself.

... and this is the guy:

Dear Alexei

I bought the group. I am going to have it researched. If you have already done so please let me know what you found. I would love it if you could PM the photo you posted.

I bought it because there was a letter from the archives stating that he has been awarded the "crab" and I have been looking for a nice modern group like this.
I am very pleased that its legit. I have bought a lot of groups when I first started collecting Soviet stuff that have turned out fake that it nice to know that I have scored one back. I must point out to any new collectors.. PLEASE BUY FROM REPUTABLE DEALERS/PEOPLE ONLY... it may cost a bit more but its worth it in the long term. There is nothing worse then buying something and finding out its fake.

Dear Munroe,

I got this group from one of my suppliers couple of years ago, and was he had asured me that it was good despite those weird entries. To save some $$$ I only had the "Crab" researched just to be sure that the group was legit.

I can't PM the photo to you, but please feel free to e-mail me.

Alexei
