The Red Banner looks fine... Can you post a picture of the book?

I bought this ORB group this weekend, after much deliberation. Given that the seller has a money-back guarantee, I figured I go for it. I'd like confirmation that it is ok though (assuming it is).

Included in this group are a ORB, CSM, and a Leningrad Medal. The book accompanying the ORB & CSM lists 2 Bravery Medals that are missing. There is no document for the Leningrad medal.

My thoughts are that the ORB looks good, as does the CSM. The Leningrad is either iffy, or really worn down. The only thing that concerns me is that the ORB could have been added later the the book. I'm hoping that that thought is merely a figment of my paranoid colletor's brain, and that the stuff is genuine.

So experts, what do you think?

ORB:

I almost forgot, for some reason the Leningrad medal seems to have a green ribbon that has a yellow stripe. ?

Tim,

I believe the group is original. leningrad medals is OK. Don't worry about the ribbon, you can easily replace it.

Tim,

The ribbon is also OK, just very soiled and discolored.
