Thank you, Alanirvine.
I have already taken that first step in buying the book you referred to. It is coming in the mail. I'm really enjoying this new field of collecting and find it very interesting. I have already purchased a few other pieces such as an Order of the Patriotic War 2nd class and an Order of the Red Banner, both WWll-issue. I'll post them here when I receive them. I think I bought some post-war defense medals off of eBay without really knowing what I was doing. When I get McDaniel's book I'll be able to do some research on them and determine whether or not they are WWll-era pieces. BTW, I'm trying to collect only WWll pieces. Thanks again for the reply. I appreciate the helping hand.:)
