I just saw this on that well known auction site. HSU #5218 with accompanying order booklet. The order booklet is phony. It appears to be an old booklet, with page 3 doctored.
The Order of Lenin serial number to #5218 is incorrect, and the booklet
number to both awards is totally off! Thank goodness there are great reference books out there!!!
As for the HSU itself, it is really dinged and scratched. Since the booklet is a fake, I have NO confidence on the hero medal itself.
The seller fails to include a photo of the inside cover and page #1. Why? It would have the recipients name. Why doesn't the seller disclose the hero's name? He shows pages 3 and 4.
I just see to many red flags.
