Hello,
Soviet: I should have been clearer. I tilted the entire case up not the individual medals. So the document still stays behind the medal but you can still see a bit easier then if they were lying flat on a shelf.
Ron: Thanks for the kind words on the old collection. I see you are not to be outdone! Great looking display and nice collection.
Dolf: Yes it used to be my collection. I sold it off recently. I think I had about another or four or five mounts of medals and badges that I did not upload fotos of.
One of the main reasons (but not only reason) I decided to sell was the incredible rise in the market price of nearly every Soviet award recently. That rapid increase was making it harder and harder to find additional pieces to add to the collection - that I wanted to afford.
I still collect Soviet but have gone away from medals to senior officer uniforms and visors from WWII. I really really enjoy the cloth side these days. I look at my new visors the same way I used to look at my screwback Lenin (which had McDaniel documentation with it) and Kutozov 3rd - with some lust if you will!!!
I had shown the visors on another thread the link works you can see what what I essentially 'swapped' the medals for. I dol have some great tunics and someday I will get around to taking some photos of them and post them on the Uniforms page. Thanks Clete
