Hello All,
I attended a militaria show in Chicago last weekend. It was a very large show of about 250+ tables. It was the first show I've attended in quite a while where I was looking mainly for Soviet stuff. Out of all those tables there wasn't much Soviet medals. One dealer was selling Soviet and DDR uniforms and I found 3 dealers with Soviet medals. I was supprised at the lack of Soviet material, especially badges.Nothing great at those 3 dealers, Red Stars, OPW2, etc all at full retail prices. I did find and buy a screwpost base Order of the Red Star that was in a group of Red Stars a dealer had Got it at a price that he went down to for any of the common stars. Serial number around 200,000.
