marsino Wrote:Alfred, I would be happy that it was ok, but not it seems to me the same thing ... how can a badge with more than 70 years have no sign of the time?
Here is the reverse of the first badge and the reverse of the second badge you can see in post 1.
Both are okay in my oppinion.
If you have a closer look at the reverse of the badge below you can see some little green areas of patina.
Marsino, sometimes awards are in very good condition /shape and have no or only little wearing traces. For example they were only worn for a short time and spend the rest of the "life" in a box or cabinet.
I have a Red Star from the 30´s who looks like it came from mint yesterday.
I have a complete group to a female soldier (KGB related) who is in perfect shape. Only the Red Star from war time was some wearing traces. All the other medals and jubilee medals were never worn. All boxes are present to the group and all boxes are in a very good shape.
The documents have no worn corners.The Leningrad document looks like it was printed yesterday.
best regards
Andreas
