Cheers yeh not bad, bit of a job lot...they will look good on display 🙂🙂

[@kieronjones5460]

Nice. Take a look at post war Soviet daggers as their nice too, I have two myself. There are East German daggers too, but they are a bit pricey. I have to say, you have a knack of displaying things really well, I have loads of great things myself, I think I'll have to take some tips from your collection display.

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

Cheers kieron m8, yeh I will take a look at the daggers...yeh I've seen the east german ones , I think they are similar to the ww2 ones?. Thanks for the compliment about my displays, yeh take any of my tips on displaying stuff, I suppose that's why I do the videos 🙂🙂🙂, all the best

[@historicmilitaria1944]

Nice selection,the one youre unsure about is the variation 1 of the medal for armed forces veteran of the ussr in patinated white metal....variation 2 was gold plated....established 20 may 1976 awarded to all branches for 25 years service exept submariners and pilots as they were classed as being in hazardous enviroments and the 25 year requirement could not be met.. 880,000 medals were issued

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

Cheers CJ m8, good info, thanks for that ...looks like I going to have to get another display case 🙂🙂

[@Landsturm]

The one with CCCP on it is for veterans of the armed forces of the USSR. The Russians certainly like their bling! Will look good properly displayed in a case.

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

Hi Stan, nice group of medals 👍

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

Cheers and thanks 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@lukassdaratrakaslietas9706]

The one you weren't sure about was veteran of the armed forces

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

Thank you very much for that, good information...there are so many soviet medals it can be confusing 🙂🙃🙂

[@TellySavalas-or5hf]

Every year the Russians release a commemorative medal for every battle (Leningrad, Stalingrad, etc). That's why there are so many heavily decorated Russian WW2 veterans.

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

Ah ok Telly, good stuff m8....I always wondered about that, I'm quite happy with this job lot 🙂🙂

[@JimTimber]

Awesome badges..I really like the police one !! Sweet collection of medals there Stan bro ! The one you couldn't find is the Veteran of the Armed Forces of the USSR Medal ..it was established in 1976 and was awarded on behalf of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR for 25 years of faultless military service to members of the Army, Navy, Internal Troops and Border Troops.

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

Veteran medal.

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

Cheers Anvil m8 👍

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

Soviet medals are always worth a look. Sometimes there's a valuable award among run of the mill stuff. I knew a man 20 years ago who auctioned off an order of victory award that he'd bought in Berlin after the wall came down. He got it really cheap. Sold for £3,000,000. They're worth £10,000,000 now. @@steelhelmetstan7305

Wow, just goes to show that you never know 🙂🙂
