Even though details like the serial engraving and the mint mark position seem to be in order, I would stay away from them. I really don't like the surface of the reverse.

Very strange that these curls are still present after the heavy polishing.:rolleyes:

I'll reiterate my view on the group;

Avoid!

Unfortunately, from what I understand, the Group was bought by Rocket, and at this point we can search only what's good (maybe the Orders book?).

Once there is an unreturnable purchase the options are somewhat limited. Salvage the legitimate items and make sure the illegitimate are marked as such.

Hopefully the original outlay was small enough to have the detractions keep the price reasonable.

I would certainly avoid this source in the future too.

Rocket,
I would like you to say, what are these three Red Stars... :smoke

The three ORS and the CS are all messed up. ORS's photos and scans might be confusing, but friends that could see the orders de visu confirmed they have been doctored.
Moreover, one Red Star has a serial not matching with the variation, as pointed out Here.

What more evidence do we need? :banghead

Gents,

I wasn't really following this thread as I focused on its associated documents. Reading what I have, I would think that all three of his Red Stars (as he is seen wearing in the Fake Documents thread) were for wartime achievement with none awarded for long service.
