This is a great thread!
I know of a collector who purchased various items at an estate sale of a World War II American Naval officer who was attached to the American Embassy in Moscow during the war. Among the items was an Order of the Patriotic War, 1st Class, that was still contained within a fine, small fitted red leather case. It also contained the Order Book, with the American Officer's photograph in it. A great piece!
