For me when the order is researched the piece then really comes alive in a sense. I personally tend to stay away from award groups for two reasons 1. Price and 2. These days theres so many fake groups or "touch ups" that for me personally its hard to know what is good and what is not. That being said when it comes to the orders i collect i like to try and get as low serial numbers as possible and as high serial numbers as possible. If your new to collecting i can suggest to you buying some order of the red stars there fairly affordible and easy to research. The range of serial number can also determine what era the award was given for 5 and 6 digits are range from 1939 40 finnish war and WW2 and the 3 millions range from Hungary to afganistan. And not to mention a very beautiful award!
