Tal,

I have both of these books and they are quite useful as a reference. I particularly like the colour plates in the second book. However, the prices quoted are a bit of a joke.

Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.

Gentlemen,

Just to add to the thread, here are Avers 1, 3, and 4, and a pirated version of 5(I).

Alexei,

Four looks interesting, and is one I don't have. Does this cover soviet awards as well? BTW, my Avers #1 is an A4 sized paperback version, not a hardback as you have. I assume, therefore, there are at least two editions.

Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.

Is this the book that Russian dealers wrote and use as THEIR refernce when they buy from someone who is not a aware of the real value? I remember there were talks about some books like that, I dont remember if they were Avers or not.

That's the book.

I thought so.
A funny story. My friend have some tides in Vladivostok.
One of his contacts overe there called him with the list of prices for the screwbacks.
My memorable moment:
Bogdan Khmelnitskiy 1st class = $800.00
Bogdan Khmelnitskiy 2nd class = $600.00
Bogdan Khmelnitskiy 3rd class = $400.00

Are those prices from Avars catalog? :p

Hey Ruslan,

If they are real, could you have your friend pick me up ... oh what the hell ... 4-5 Khmelnitsky 1st class...

OK?

I told him that he forgot one zero in the price and asked him to keep looking.
