There's an auction in process on eBay for the group of awards to a Soviet veteran.
Interesting enough, all screwbacks in this group were converted to pinbacks!!!
This is the first time I see anything like this done to the high Soviet orders - Nevsky and GPW 1st class. We usually read about the conversion from old suspensions to screwbacks, but this group is something unusual.
I would be curious to see other modifications done officially as well as by veterans themselves.
