Hello Oldrich,
I have seen a very good example of a Russian contract S&W similar to mine (the full title is, in fact, Smith & Wesson N°3 third model Russian .44) while searching on GOOGLE. Search "Russian contract Smith & Wesson", then you'll find "BOB ADAMS - INDEX (SHORT) SALES LIST". You click on it and look under "Smith & Wesson" section. The gun is there with its full title (... and its price: US$ 6500.--). The picture is very clear (NOTE: I'm afraid I have not the holster to go with it).
I hope this information will help you in your research.

I saw it and have been looking at many websites today, privces vary considerably, as low as 1700 to 3000. Must do some more research, I cannot afford to buy something over priced. Oldrich |

| Fabulous site with some very valuable information on otherwise obscure countries like Mongolia and Moldova. I am interested in any new medals, which these two countries may award now that they are on the international stage, for example, in Iraq. |
----------------
Hi Ed, thanks for visiting, I have not seen any such medals yet and do not believe that any Moldovan troops are in Irak,
Bests regards, Oldrich |

Re. "Russian" 1874 Smith & Wesson
Hello,
I haven't contacted the Russian guy I told you about today, but I will this evening. Here are just the details concerning the Swiss law re. firearms. As I said, the firearms produced before 1890 are considered as mere antiques (like a medal, a painting or even a mere button!) and not as arms anymore. You can have the confirmation via GOOGLE when searching "RS 541.54". Once you have the page, you could find the details as follows: article 2, paragraph 2, letter a, LArm [Law on arms], and article 2, letter a, OArm [Ordnance on arms]).
As soon as I receive an answer from Russia, I'll let you know.
All the best.

Hello,
I was hoping you could help me identify a fire badge I recieved as a gift from a friend. He is from the soviet union, but bought the badge in ukraine. I am a captain in the fire service and I collect badges. He thought I would enjoy this, but we know none of its history, age etc. If you can help, please let me know and I can email you a picture.
Thanks, Jeff |

Hi Jeff, you can post on the forum,

| My nephew=in-law, who is Russian gave me a large scrapbook with loads of different medals. Can you advise me what book I could buy to determine nature of each and value? I will not be able to do anything with them without this info. Many thanks for your kind response. Ruth Fried |
----------------
Hi Ruth,
there are a number of books (Mcdaniels, herfurth etc.) or websites to see medals, or scan them and post on my forum, I will try to identify what you have,

Dear Oldrich,
I have recently purchased an 'Order of the Patriotic War first Class, 1985 issue', from one of the reccomended sites in your link page. However, I have my suspicions about it, mostly because some of the gold plate has covered the sword and rifle. I know that these orders are mass-produced, but is this normal? |
----------------
Dear Graham,
just in case I had not replied earlier, highly unnlikely that a GPWII 1985 issue is forged. In any case the fact that there is a link on my website does not mean I endorse that site!

Oldrich,
good evening. I am an Australian collector, currently specialising in military long service and good conduct medals but I also collect other items that are of interest to me. I am currently trying a locate a Medal of Ushakov for either purchase or swap (for Australian, British, New Zealand or Dutch medals). I know you don't sell but can you suggest some sites to go to so I could either purchase an Ushakov or swap?
Regards
Graham W |
----------------
Hi Graham, thanks for visiting, have you got any Soviet medals to swap? As to sites see OMSA or some other links I list, or post on my forum!

| I am looking for badges for members of the Supreme Soviets of not only the 15 republics, but espically the autonomous republics, or any variations of those badges. I have 28 now and seek to fill in the blank spaces. In exchange I have orders of lenin, 60 military academy badges, and a ton of other medals and orders. Please ad me to your want list. Thanks much. Bob |
----------------
Hi Bob, I unfortunately do not have any badges like that...so there will be no exchange,
Oldrich
Hi Bob,
saw a bunch of Supreme Soviet badges in London (Estonia with ID no 192, Armenia nos 291, 197, 165 and Ukr no. 24). Are you still interested? How much are they worth?

| could you give me an idea of the vFair market value of the Russian Order of Lenin in Gold & Platinum and the Bulgarian Order of Georgi Dimitrov in Gold #2 - hollow type III ( both 100% genuine of course)Thanks |
----------------
Hi Mike,
depends which type, Lenins are all gold and platinum (except very early one's), it also depends whether there is a document or not. In the US I see them on websites still for 700 USD, recently seen them sold in Europe for 800 euros with document, normally aroud a thousand. They are getting rare.
The Dimitrov I am no great specialist, saw one recently for 350 USD I think,
