That's a nice grouping. I like it.

Nice collection, Jeff! Now all you need to do is get all the older variations of the Soviet Guards badge, all 80 or something of them

Fortunately
I picked up a number of wartime guards badges for my uniforms before the prices started to go up. 80 variations? I'll leave that to the ubercollectors!

How to display
Very impressive.... all of you... so far, mine sit in plastic and in the safe. I have run out of friends to show as many just fall asleep now when I start talking about them. My wife, from Latvia, thinks we all have deep problems with our addiction (smile). (I just think she is jealous since I have more Soviet orders and medals then she ever got while she lived there for 24 years!) LOL. oh, and she also agrees, the wives should definitely get together and form a support group. (I have found that if you buy them a new pair of shoes just before you tell them you are about to buy a medal for a few hundred dollars, it definitely helps.)

Skrabichewski (or anyone else),
I am curious to know how you had fixed the order booklet to the picture frame. The problem I found when I tried to mount my orders this weekend, was that I actually had some award documents for these, and I can't figure out how to attach or mount them without damaging them. Any suggestions? Art, I noticed you said you kept the medals in plastic sleeves, so you could handle them without touching them. This may seem like a dumb question, but does handling them cause some problem? Kind Regards, Shane Cook. |

Shane,
I like to keep them in sleeves to avoid having the ribbons handled. Also it makes the medal rigid so you can flip them around very easily to see the front and backs. This isn't a real pretty way of having them on display, but I like to handle them and look at both sides of the award. Art Art, I noticed you said you kept the medals in plastic sleeves, so you could handle them without touching them. This may seem like a dumb question, but does handling them cause some problem? Kind Regards, Shane Cook. [/B][/QUOTE]

I put my medals in display frames like in this one. I used a cheap (5$) Soviet flag as a background.
I hope, you like it. Gerd

Attaching award docs

I use the straight pins you get in the packaging when you buy a shirt . I found them to be the least obtrusive. Dmitry |
