A proposito di miniature ( http://www.rkka.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=28987 ), ne avevo viste di Ordini e Medaglie Sovietiche. Qualcuno ne sa qualcosa?

Si, esatto.

Che chicca. Mai viste.
Ma quando hanno cominciato a produrle?!

Not sure if I qualify as a veterani collezionisti but the Soviets never officially produced any miniatures of the awards. Oh, and the same goes for the so called "wearer's copies".

If you look at pictures of the May 9th parade, you can see that all veterans do wear their original awards. Maybe because of this we can call them "veteran collectors"...

Yes you over-qualify as one of them

of course Alexei you are overqualified, thank you for the info

Thanks, guys!

This of course does not mean that unofficial or private copies were never made.

Here's an example of a privately made HSU wearer's copy with obvious traces of age and wear.

Well, they though about them and even made trial pieces, but never officially introduced them ...

In 1964 Leningrad Mint made first trial pieces

Then there were a lot of chiacchierata.
Then a little more.
Then in 1970 this letter came

So they got busy again

More trial pieces and more blablablablablablablablablabla

And then, as we say back in Moscow , finire

At least they didn`t destroy attrezzamento

Lenin

For thouse of you who are experienced in la lingua di Puškin

Per parlare sincero I don`t believe in privately made soviet minies.
I think 99,99% of these were made specifically for romantic collectors who heard (of familiar) with trial pieces story.

Like this rare beauty

or this

Pretty cool

Non credere ai propri occhi

these copies are not made ​​by casting. equipment for coining medals or coins are extremely expensive and suggest a series production.
Since I can not believe that the Soviet system would allow the production of medals to private firms is state-fledged productions

Duro!
