Re: Order of the Patriotic War
Hi Bill. Welcome to our forum.
The OPW and the RS are, if I recall, where where I started getting really hooked; they are really nice, quality "items". Hard to not want to get more of their ilk. :) I'm guessing all these are 1985 issues but we can't tell without a shot of the reverse. Front, back, serial numbers and other things are what we like to see when making any sort of informed comment. You'll catch on before too long. :D BTW, these, and the 2 RS you posted would probably be best posted in the "Orders" section to get the most visibility. And of course if you have questions about authenticity the best section would be "Fakes". Again, welcome to the show and please feel free to post more of your goodies. Many of us like to see new things and hear from new collectors.

Re: Order of the Patriotic War
Eric,
Thanks for the Info. Sometimes it is hard to figure out what exactly we have and what forum we should use. I will post there complete to include all that you suggested in Orders. Regards, Bill |

OPW with class
Here is an interesting OPW 2nd class that I recently won on our local auction site. Interesting replacement H&S. Anyone seen such before?
Will be interesting to research.

Re: OPW with class
Somewhere here on the forum I've posted photos of two such brass replacement OPW2's I have. I can't remember where those images are though.

Re: OPW with class
It doesn't look like brass and it doesn't look like the cap badge H&S model that was used on some OPW2s. The pins on the reverse are also way too long. It seems to me this was custom made.
Here one of my WW2 cap badges and an OPW2 with a cap badge H&S. |

Re: OPW with class
I just picked up a heavily damaged OPW2 - all starpoints with breakage, and the H&S missing. I know this has come up before, but do any of you know where to find an H&S (maybe from a replica hat badge) just to give it a more complete look?
