Cheers!
Some DPRK items continue to stream onto the market and I will be adjusting some prices downwards. What could be seen as "rare" one day can be offered by the dozen the next. There have been a good number of Orders of DPRK Friendship offered in the last 6 months (over 20 in total) proving that they are not as rare as they were once thought. I have also seen 4 Chongryon Medals for sale in the last month too (One of which was freshly offered from Japan) and 3 DPRK Friendship Medals (one of which sold for 99 cents!).
As far as my personal collection now stands I have only 6 Orders/Medals left to collect to complete the set (without counting variations) but there are MANY variations out there (Over 40 of the Order Of The National Flag 3rd Class in my collection alone).
When I return to Yorkshire in the new year I will be presenting dozens and dozens of items I have not yet presented to the forum. Hopefully they will help light the way of the collectors.
I have seen people pay for 1 item the same I have paid for 80 of the same item.... Not fun for an enthusiast to feel ripped off when they are led to believe they have spent top dollar on a unique item.
My personal collection now stands at 493 Titles/Orders, 208 Medals, 191 Badges and dozens of pieces of insignia. Not so much rare but misunderstood.
I'd advise anyone thinking about branching into this area of the hobby to have a good read of this DPRK section of the forum before making a purchase.
MUCH MUCH more information to come on the subject I can assure all.
