Bayoswede,
This is a lot of fun. I like the Red Star. You can collect many of them, they are inexpensive ( relatively speaking ) and they always look good. I'll keep posting weights as I get them. I also want to start measuring my awards. See the reply I left for you in the Order of the Patriotic War thread, maybe you're interested.
I weighed the Odessa medal and it comes out to 17.3 grams.
I've been experimenting with how I might be able to weigh my suspended orders. I've been having mixed results. I can't keep the suspension supported enough so that the weight on the scale is entirely the medallion and not the suspension with the medallion. It always seems to shift and affect my measurements.
