Nice stamps.

I remember two years ago, in the small shop in the garden close to the Kremlin gates, they were selling plaquettes of stamps with Soviet orders and medals... I asked for one. The seller told me it is not possible because only oen remained, the one of the display. I asked for it... He never wanted to sell it to me because of the hole it would create in his display... :confused:

BTW, I found the stamps in one of the stamps albums people sell in streets (in St Petersburg).

Christophe,

You can try your local stamp show. Even at St. Louis, Missouri stamp event I found some philatelic items featuring Soviet orders. Also, you can buy anything on EBay.

The attached image of a stamp depicting Marshal Choibalsan wearing Lenin and Red Banners is too cool. Later, he was also awarded Suvorov and 20 Years RKKA medal.
