Alexei is the most respected, knowledgeble and experienced person on this Forum.

Indeed.

All of us should appreciate his assistance, advise and opinion..

We all do, including Sergei.

It is just my opinion about some "smart remarks" from some people..

I saw that as well but I'm sure he meant it as a joke. He just forgot the smiley.

May be I am wrong, but it is just what I feel.

It's good that you care, but I will vouch for Sergei; he's a good guy and a serious collector and he knows what Alexei is. I'm sure he meant no disrespect.

Well, usually I have a very good sense of humor :laff
It's not my day today. :thumbsdown
Sergei, I am sorry if I offended you.
Eric

[Sergei]

Sorry! My last post was unduly flippant and completely uncalled for. I sincerely apologize to everyone involved. Ericlida, honestly, that is not what I meant. I hold Alexei's opnion in highest regard. I do not know what got into me.
It's one of those days, I guess.
Once again, I do apologize.

I believe all opinions are worthy on this forum wether we agree or not.

Alexei's opions are held in the highest and his expertise is un questionable:thumbsup

I don't think any offence was intended by anyone. Lets face it, collecting what we collect can be, shall we say confrontational at times

It's all good

Brendan:thumbsup

Um, no. I don't intend to discourage discussion or subscribers' contributions, but sometimes opinions can be rather stupid.

[ANZAC]

Agreed But don't questionable opinions that don't purposely set out to offend, encourage spirited discussion and lead to information sharing

As I said, it's all good, I just hear to learn and share:thumbsup

There are questionable opinions and then there are those not based on any substance or clung to despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Although I'm not as uptight as I sound and share your "It's all good" philosophy, it's NOT all good. Some is misleading and brings more heat than light.

Obviously you are referring to occurences on this forum:confused:

My apologies I am way off topic....:thumbsdown

Stay tuned for some more pics of awards I am framing this weekend, well if I don't have to mow the lawn, clean the pool, help clean the house....

No, I am not kidding, ehhh... joking. Even from this small picture I can tell that some items are fakes. For instance the 1928 Marksmanship badge (star with a soldier and a machine gun) - 100% fake, you can tell from the glow.

Possible fakes:

Russian MVD 2nd class (almost certainly a fake);
KGB badge (same);
Voroshilov Marksman (same);
Military Academy Badge;
One of the WWII Excellence badges.

Maybe some more, I just don't want to strain my eyes.
