Upcoming saleWe are glad to present you our first sale of this year, which will take place on March 21, 2010 in Helsinki, Finland. The highlight of the current sale is undoubtedly the Mannerheim Cross, one of the rarest and most sought after Finnish decorations. Along with this cross we will also offer for a sale a number of important awards, including the Commander’s badge of the Order of Finnish Lion with swords and the Commander’s badge of the Order of White Rose with swords. Other interesting items in the Finnish section of the catalog are several very rare Liberation war awards (including first ever known Raahe “Rapid Movement” unit badge) and a broad selection of high quality mounted medal groups, including ones belonging to a Colonel, Commander of a Jäger Regiment and a Company commander of Finnish SS Volunteer Division. We have managed to acquire a small collection of Russian Bravery medals and St. George Crosses from WWI, which would be offered for sale in the Russian section of the catalog. Also worth to be noted a set of a few Russian orders of St. Nicholas the Miracle-Worker from the émigré (exile) period. From the “Red” side we will have a medal group of the Hero of the Soviet Union (received by a Major, Battalion commander for crossing river Dvina and establishing the bridgehead on its other bank), Order of Kutuzov 2nd class, screwback Order of the Red Banner (2nd award) and a rare three-rivet variation of the Order of Red Star. In other sections of the catalog we will be offering a large selection of early Chinese decorations (including a few for Inner Mongolia) and an extremely interesting medal group to a Ukrainian pilot, who served in the US Air Force during WWII. With such a broad selection we are quite confident, that everyone would be able to find something. As always, we wish you success in your hobby and look forward to see you among the bidders.
Sincerely yours, P.S. Starting with this sale, along with the traditional, “paper” version we will also be offering an “e-catalog”. Unlike the “usual” PDF catalog, which will remain available for download from our website, this new e-catalog would be using the “flash” technology (“flipping pages” effect). Not only it feels more “natural”, but also allows much higher magnification of pictures. Make sure you check it out! |
