Dear Alexei
I bought the group. I am going to have it researched. If you have already done so please let me know what you found. I would love it if you could PM the photo you posted.
I bought it because there was a letter from the archives stating that he has been awarded the "crab" and I have been looking for a nice modern group like this.
I am very pleased that its legit. I have bought a lot of groups when I first started collecting Soviet stuff that have turned out fake that it nice to know that I have scored one back. I must point out to any new collectors.. PLEASE BUY FROM REPUTABLE DEALERS/PEOPLE ONLY... it may cost a bit more but its worth it in the long term. There is nothing worse then buying something and finding out its fake.
