When did you start collecting Soviet Awards? - Culturby - 09-24-2015
Well, I bought a nice Order of Red Star (numbered between 900.000-999.999) on a market in Kabul, Afghanistan, during my deployment there with Danish Army.
I sold it a couple of years ago, and regretted it ever since.
Inspired by some of the medals and groups with research, shown in the "Medal Collecting" group on Facebook, I bought my first Order of Glory III and a Medal for courage a moth or two ago.
A "new" Order of Red Star has also found its way to me. I have recevied research on the first two.
I'm not new to medal collecting. Have been collecting since I was 10 years old. Since my deployment to Afghanistan, I have collected British medals. In particular British medals to Danish born recipients.
It is named medals or medals that can be researched that I collect. Research is everything!

Bjorn
