[QUOTE=Dolf]Ron,
As for comparing the quality of these new brass Orders with the old silver/gold ones... well, can we compare a Rolls Royce with a Fiat Punto?... :-))
I do have one of these new brass Orders, a Polar Star, and indeed, no possible comparision...
I wouldn't buy one of these S-B, unless if a real bargain, but I'd like to add to my collection one of each of the other Orders, just as a kind of curiosity I guess.
Hello Dolf
I understand you, and that you want to add to your collection new and interesting items. My Soviet & Mongolian collections are keeping my wallet empty so I have decided to just stick to the Older stuff. All though I just bought an Order of Stalin with empty doc, just coudn't resist:)
