I can remember back to the first time I ever bought Soviet awards, on Izmailova in Moscow in April 1992... I found a fellow in the section with just the locals selling their goods who had a very nice selection of awards. These included common orders (a Red Star, GPW 2nd, etc.) as well as Defense (Stalingrad), Victory and Jublilee medals (all through 1988). I bought the lot for $20, and later split the lot up. I don't remember any documents, but looking back on it, with the awards there, it was most likely a single person's group that I split up!

I purchased some very nice WW2 vintage insignia as well that trip, and stored it in a cologne bottle box for the transit home. I cleaned out my bags, just in time for trash day... And realized that the box went out with the trash! Oy!

Thanks for listening. :-) What about a thread for 'your greatest deal'???
