Guys, guys, what-tha.... you're talking about? Weight of platinum in order of Suvorov 1st class???
Soviet orders are not valued for the material it's made of, although, it's always platinum/gold/silver, but of course, for people from other countries, it's of a big concern, since most of their awards (with just a few countries exception to the rule) are made from non-precious metals... no offense. On a related subject, how many of you actually saw and held real Suvorov 1 in your hands (let alone own)? Then, how can you debate on it, if the only thing close to it that you've seen is a semi-good image lifted off somebody's website, or a high quality, but small size, image from Paul's book? Hmmm...
To me, and once again, I don't mean to point fingers or offend anybody at this great forum, it makes very little sence to argue with passion on something you have no clue about... Then again,
it's fun reading for other members:D
Cheers,
Alex.
