Award Boxes/Cases.

Tal Inbar · 05-09-2002, 08:21 AM

Hi

I have several Cardboard boxes, in which medals were awarded. They are ugly, with a big stamp with the name of the award. I also have a very nice box for the order of lenin. i will like to see what other version of presentation box there are. The best looking box I saw is for the order of Freindship among peoples, pictured in McDaniel's book.

So - what else is out there?

Medal for 20 years of irreproachable service, with award dociment and original box:

I have a box like the one in the picture. It has beutyfull cats to fit the order, and dark green velvet. But - I don't know if orders were awarded in those boxes.

I've always wanted an Order of Friendship with box as shown in McDniels book. Gorgeous!

Tal,

I think Orders of Glory with boxes like you have pictured were awarded only to foreigners.

The box for the Order of Lenin on the picture is a fake, made for a copy.

Type 3 OGPW with an ugly issue box. Somebody drew the "Guards" ribbon on it.

Regarding the Box for the copy of order of Lenin: I have one of those, and it is very well made, and there is NO number on the back or faked rivets. my question: who made those copies? And to invest in a nice box???

Tunes out I don't have any boxes for the order of Lenin left :( It's a cardboard box covered with red leatherette that accommodates both the Order and the ID. The inside is place white cardboard. Recipient's name would often be typed at the side of the box.

They are definitely fakes, just look at the ugly typeface on the top. I am not sure who made them, but I believe it was a US company. They started selling them about 5-7 years ago at about $200 a piece (with the medal of course).

Alexei,

I've always said that NOTHING is comparable to original order of Lenin (except Order of Ushakov, Suvorov, Victory...)

to my sorrow, it's not mine...
