Same question about this recently purched Budapest; anything wrong? This one's been trimmed down a bit, probably to eliminate edge wear. Do you think the two hole punches affect it's overall value much?

Eric,

I don't see anything criminal here with any of them.

As to the punch holes, let me answer you with a question: would a hole in your Budapest medal affect its value? ;)

Maybe if it was just a little hole? :) Ah well, live and learn. Only a $20+ investment.

I tried to catch the faded color or even the indentations of the metal from the stamp on the paper, but I don't see anything in the photos.:confused:

It could have been a local rubber stamp that was used and the ink faded, but I can't tell from just these photos (and no insult to your photographic skills - you are still "the man" when it comes to photos).

Nope. No indication at all that there was any sort of stamping activity anywhere on or around this booklet at any time. :)

I don't think the lack of a stamp is a great worry. I have a small number of documents purchased from impeccable sources that are similarly lacking the stamp. I think it can just be put down to administrative oversight, in a similar manner to the instances where I have two documents for the same individual.

I can see some low level, third-shift assistant-clark missing a stamp (or ten) when he stepped out for just a tot or two of vodka. What I don't see is him writing the same frontnovik's name twice on a document.
Then again I, myself, have done some unexplainable things under the influence of said demon drink....a certain dusky gal from Bangkok comes to mind (a real crossway-breezer, she) but that's a story for another forum...

So....legit, I'd hope, this booklet could be? But with enough issues to make it worth less than 100%.

Gents, got this CoB today as part of a group (see others elsewhere shortly). I've no doubts about this but just need a :thumbsup to help me sleep better tonight.
Also, help with the name and any other handwritten or stamped details if you'd be so kind?
Many thanks in advance.
