I'm not a major collector - these were speculative bids. I did at one time have all the campaign/victory/capture sets, plus a dozen or so specialist badges.
Out of all the buying and selling, I kept three order groups with documents . The most fascinating thing about two of them is not the medals - to me at least - but the photos showing young men age over the years.
It's all my history teacher's fault - he taught us Russian history from Ivan the Terrible through to Khruschev, and most of that wasn't even on the syllabus!
