Re: Soviet awards on stamps
I can see how people get hooked on stamp collecting with such beautiful things out there.

Re: Soviet awards on stamps
Stamp collecting ey? If you ever come across a stamp catalogue (like Stanley Gibbons) you will find collecting Soviet (never mind all the Warsaw pact nations or world) takes up a few hundred pages of the book. I've been collecting mainly rectangular paper items for over 20 years and have inherited nearly 100 years of collecting and bought up millions of them and still give me the medals! They don't get anywhere as near water damaged! But stamp collecting is an extremely cheap hobby if you want it to be... all you have to do is go through some bins and you will find! Just don't expect it to make you (or the great grandchildren) a millionaire though. Saying all this though there are some strange and wonderful stamp issues from the civil war period and also the occupation and reoccupation of most of eastern Europe. I suppose for a few pennies you can have a collection of all Soviet awards in stamp form.......

Re: Soviet awards on stamps
Is T-34 really shown on the attached stamp dedicated to Jewish volunteers from Palestine who served in British Army?

Quote:
P.S. The only sensible explanation for the depiction of T-34 is symbolism. Each element on the stamp symbolizes Jewish soldiers in one of Allied armies: infantrymen for British, B-17 for US, T-34 for Soviet. Last edited by Simon; 12-27-2010 at 11:06 AM. |

Re: Soviet awards on stamps
Russia's Postal Service released, as a beginning of what appears to be a series dedicated to modern orders, a souvenir sheet depicting an order of St. Andrew.

Re: Soviet awards on stamps
That really is an outstanding MS. If I collected Russian stamps that would have to be the very finest example of the philatelist art.
