Desantnik,
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. Do you have an idea of the current prices for these pieces? I've seen a 3rd Class for sale on the site of that well known NJ dealer for $275, so I guess these ones should cost more, but couldn't find them anywhere to compare prices! BTW, are the ribbons on my pics the correct ones for these pieces? I realize that the ribbon for the 1st Class is wrongly positioned, but apart from that are these the right ribbons? Thanks again, Dolf Last edited by Dolf; 11-12-2004 at 03:10 PM. |

The Afghan collecting market is not developed enough to tell you appropriate prices. Pay what your pain threshhold is. I've seen Afghan medals in the FSU and they were initially given away for nothing and now are "out of control." I've also heard reports from guys in Pakistan that you can buckets full of these Afghan awards. I don't know what the truth is. As to your ribbons, from the pictures and samples I've seen the I Class ribbon is correct (even being "backward" or "wrongly positioned" from what you're used to on Soviet ribbons). The ribbon on the II Class is incorrect and I've usually only seen it on Afghan long service medals. |
