Damaged, Repair, Clean, Preserve Soviet Awards And Documents.
#58
I have a Leningradmedal that was found in the Baltic, I think. I'm not a big fan of dug-items. How do I know that it's not taken from some grave somwhere? I know that it's not always the case, dug doesn't mean: taken from grave. But how can I be sure? Supporting grave robbers with my money is not a nice thought...

The reason for few soviet dug-awards is probably money. Why get a crappy-condition dug Leningrad medal when a new one cost 5$? The really rare orders/medals are probably hard to find in the field. By the way I got my medal as a gift.

Anyway here it is
