I think together we have cracked it.
There are so many interesting, intriguing and simply mind blowing awards now featured in the vastly expanded "not Soviet Union" sections that it really beggars belief. Unfortunately no nation's awards are presented in full but we still have lots of time to work on that (I do have every single PR Bulgarian State Medal so should really fill in those blanks).
I do try to obtain items that have not yet been covered and present them, sometimes get distracted though.... The DPRK collecting only came about to present here as there was simply no information on them out there - that turned into a chore but I'll have to trawl through the pile for as yet unposted types and variations - there are dozens of variations I know but it's a bit of a saga.
I know there are some nations that are rather neglected currently, hopefully that will change. I surprised myself with the http://soviet-awards.com/forum/soviet-bl...setia.html.
I have a few mass purchasing projects on the table so hopefully they'll pan out and everyone can enjoy the new information presented. Also each researched award is unique so I'll also continue researching awards and posting away (even if they are just for working in the Albanian State Archives). There are also over 500 Bulgarian groups I'll have to post when I have a spare year (and there is something of interest for absolutely everyone in that lot).
Always so much to do and with more awards being created and awarded all the time it's not a task that will ever be completed - specially with the 70th anniversary of victory this year - there are already oceans of "organisational" 70s.
