Brendan,
For that price, I'll happily supply you with the lower class 1/3 Marc

I would go for some OGPW1, October Revolution, perhaps a Lenin - strengthen the general collection of awards.

I'd like to get a screwpost RS and a T2 OGPW1. Would I have enough left over for a mirror ORB? I'd be willing to settle for less than pristine specimins.
I dunno though....with domestic issues as there are at the moment I might not be able to justify spending *anything* on medals.

Actually, I'm sure if Mr. Drabik heard that I had suddenly acquired such loose change, he could go into his magic closet and come out with a pile of soviet cloth which just happened to add up to 5K? You think?

I´d rush to any source to buy a red banner. If I still have some money left, I´d complete my uniforms and a collection of campaign awards.

Not only medals or orders are important...also doc's are. I would buy doc for the strenghtening combat cooperation medal and doc for the western siberia gas complex medal. Medals i have, but no docs for them.... they are so damn rare!
If everything is going ok, i will get them both soon......

Personally, I'd go for history with some research value (= a group), but these days $5K isn't much to play with -- so sad.
