I may have stumbled into what I know is the already-existing hi-end reproductions of certain awards. Since we all know I collect mostly KGB and GPU (Cheka) items of this age, I have to ask, if you were a museum curator and pieces like these were offered to you as known reproductions, is it really worth the $499 this seller wants. No doubt, it is beautiful, but it takes money from real awards that don't look as nice. Hmmm...we may have a solution to many of our problems at hand. If the prices for the repros are drawing away possible new buyers of let's say this "new" stuff which would look great in the living room next to....and they take the focus off the real orders, medals and badges and thus collapsing the price values on the bigger ones (Oh, Lawdy, I mights be's a seein' my own real Lenin coming home one day to stay - praise be!):D
