Item description is just asking for a dig: This is to certify that this Order of the Red Banner was actually issued to a Soviet soldier for heroism ....
Is this what's written in that nice certificate?
s/n 907701, by the way.

What about the stupid caps with the dozen or so "medals and orders" pinned to them on one side? Gee, see enough of them recently on eb?y to last me a lifetime.
Where did people get those? Did they really sell them like that one the streets of Moscow in the 90's?
Than there are the nice banners that have all that znachki on them. I have seen some banners I wanted that were sold that way, but I was worried about all the holes that would be in it. Do these sellers think I bunch of junk is going to sell the item.
Strangely enough you can get lucky sometimes with all those badges etc on a cap.
I bought one once because I liked the look of a particular badge and it turned out to be an original KGB. Sold it, made a profit and bought more Glories:thumbsup
Generally they are trying to sell the badges not the cap, most are cheapos but once in awhile you might get lucky
