PS
1. I asked my relatives in Ukraine and in Siberia a general question. I asked if wartime related ODM's are still in the hands of relatives or the actual vets.
They said that they most certainly are which made me very happy. I realize that this varies from region to region but thankfully not all items have been bought from the families. This is just a general comment.
2. "Peabrain" ultimately did have a large number of good items for sale-albeit at "Moscow prices" thus my very welcomed parting from him. He got these from accross Canada and mostly from Russian sailors on the coast who supposedly brought over vast numbers of these items.
Hypothetically, IF (????????) this may actually be true, then I ask the following: If the costs are soooooooo high in Moscow et al locations in Russia, why didnt they sell them there instead of bringing them here?
