I bought this book in 1982 in Simferopol (Ukraine). That was the most detailed book about orders and medals at that time. It shows color picture of order or medal and tells you what the award was given for, and what they were made of. I have the book and could send you scans if you'd like. The book is very wel done and has very useful information. The only thing they screwd up on is the Order of Bogdan Khmelnitski, they showed I and II Class switched (I as II, and II as I).
