Damaged, Repair, Clean, Preserve Soviet Awards And Documents.

Good points, Art!

I met a veteran who - because of financial problems - sold his HSU gold star medal, but kept the document, in hoping that some day he will be able to "unite" them again. ( or buying another gold star medal and change the serial number himself - for himself).

Relative of mine smuggled his awards from the USSR inside a piano...

I think the lesson from "re-issue" pieces is simple: AUTHENTICATE them all.
