Duplicate awards - Ukraine, 2001

charlet · 01-30-2004, 02:49 PM

the existence of such a fund of medals doesn't surprises me, governemental reserves and goods are often huge.
But what about a type 7 soviet document? (type 8=red cover isn't it?) why didn't they used a full ukrainian document? but the booklet is consistent with the fact of rewarding a former soviet award.
Does this commission really exist? would be interesting (paranoia) to see the decree letter adressed to the recipient for confirmation.

Very nice! I am quite impressed... The latest awards I've ever seen were Soviet awards issued by the (what was left of the) USSR in 1992. William - Neat group! If it were offered to me, I'd definately pick it up!

Dave,

I 100% share your ehthusiasm!

When I saw this group - I was stunned! This is a phenomenon in itself and I am surprised how little attention this absolutely unique group received on this Forum.

We collectors are strange bunch, as we can devote pages and pages to some ugly fake or some stupid znachki/badge, but true rarity like the one I posted gets no recoqnition...
