Chapter 1539: Sad Venus Medal!
As long as you are more interested in military history, or even an ant who is a normal foreign male tourist who came to Moscow in the 90s, he will basically want to buy a few Soviet-era badges to collect, or just as a pure souvenir.
Almost every shop in the old market area of an ant has this kind of badge for sale, which can make customers here pick and dazzle 100%!
The Soviet-era badges are all-encompassing, the influence of traditional culture and the country's rich precious metal deposits, not to mention the civilian medals, the types of medals, medals, and medals issued in the army in a few decades alone are so numerous that the number of people can increase for a while.
Whether the material is workmanship, let alone medals, even many medals and commemorative medals are precious metal textures, and they are issued to civilians.
But...
Zhang Nan didn't have the desire to buy Soviet medals, medals, and badges before, because the situation of such badges selling in the market in Russia, Ukraine and other countries is a kind of social sadness!
Don't forget, he used to be a party member, and he was a believer in Internachonel since he was a child.
But in today's Russia, Ukraine and other places, a large number of blood and lives donated, as well as medals in exchange for firm faith, are sold as rare commodities, why is this happening?
Some thieves and gangsters even steal and rob veterans' treasured medals for money.
If you can't get used to it, you can't get used to it, but it's not something you can organize, and it's not your turn to organize, that's the future emperor's business.
Since this trip happened to come, let's buy it, and if you want to buy it, buy it quickly!
This is the same as the development of the antique market in China: the antique market in China was almost free of fakes ten years ago, and now fakes have begun to flood, and the treasures will almost disappear in another ten years!
As for the real thing, the real thing on the bad street still has to be knowledgeable so that it won't be deceived.
Nowadays, the varieties of medals and medals on the Moscow market are not discussed, there are almost no imitations, and rare varieties can also be collided;
Ten years later, imitations were rampant, and there were fewer genuine products;
Twenty years later, except for some very ordinary badges that are not worth much, almost all the streets are full of imitations.
What's even more troublesome is that, just like the situation of Chinese cultural relics leaving the country, ten years ago there was almost no defense, and now smuggling is rampant, and in another ten years, it will slowly become a strict defense.
Twenty years from now, you may be able to meet a seller in Moscow who sells genuine rare medals, but beware of being combined by the seller and the police to play fairy jump: at that time, it is a violation of Russian law to buy all kinds of medals from the Soviet era without paying attention, and those corrupt Russian policemen are waiting for you to drill into it, and you have to spend a lot of money to get out!
There is also the Russian customs, which are absolutely ruthless, beware of being confiscated and a huge fine when leaving the country, and the unlucky ones are directly locked in an iron cage.
Well, those are the encounters that ordinary tourists will encounter, Zhang Nan doesn't have to worry, but since he has decided to buy it now, let's play big.
I glanced around first, but instead of picking it out at once, I called Alexander.
"Two things.
First, let the people in the market put together a set of military medals, medals and commemorative medals at all levels during the Soviet period, plus mainstream civilian medals and medals, including the Labor Gold Star, in addition to the Victory Medal, I know that the people in this market can do it.
It is best to match certificates and medals, but do not force it, and the sooner the better.
Of course, if there is a Victory Medal, I will also ask for it, and if I can have a few more, then I will ask for a few sets.
The price is not a problem, just go according to the market price here, but I don't want to steal it, this is the bottom line. ”
Alexander nodded, feeling that this was the style of the boss, and he could do everything he needed to let others do for him.
In fact, Alexander is going to spread the word about this, there are a lot of people in such a big market, and naturally someone will be responsible for being busy.
Zhang Nan continued: "Second, see if there is a full set of medals sold by some deceased veterans, the certificates and medals are complete, if there is, then get me a few sets."
It doesn't matter the level or type, the rules are the same as before. ”
Play all kinds of big sets, this is the confidence of the super-rich.
After the boss finished speaking, Alexander, who said that he understood, turned around and called a few Russians who followed, muttered a few words, and those people immediately went to do the matter.
Others collect a large set for them, and the rest is to have more fun while walking, looking for and selecting.
There are many chapters on the stall in front of you, and the rarest ones are the open boxes that are placed in front of the stall owner to the left.
Treasures, Zhang Nan saw that there was a Lenin Medal, two Red Banner Medals, a Labor Red Banner, a Red Star Medal, and a Gold Star Medal made of gold!
Pi smiled and said to the stall owner: "It seems that you are a capable person, and you have gold star medals."
But..."
Zhang Nan stopped, scolded in dialect, and said, "This stall is a Russian, right?"
-, why do I want to beat this guy up?
Hero of the Soviet Union, even the Hero of the Soviet Union medal is sold, how black can this heart be!?
Scum!"
When I was the most scumbag, I guess it was when I was a Tufuzi, but I couldn't get along with the dead, so it shouldn't be considered a betrayal of my own nation and country, right?
The stall owner in front of you...
The symbol of "Hero of the Soviet Union" is sold publicly, although today's Russian social atmosphere is so-up, but Zhang Nan, an outsider, just wants to beat up the other party!
Zhang Nan has seen many people in this industry, but this is the first time that he has publicly sold his own country and national spiritual symbolic items to foreigners.
After scolding, it's cool, and it's a little unhappy.
It's not really going to beat people, otherwise almost all the stall owners in the old market can be shot and sent to that private funeral home to be burned.
Xiang Weirong smiled bitterly and shook his head, his nephew is similar, he has watched a lot of old Soviet movies, and he also feels that the Russian social reality he sees now is a bit excessive.
As for the others, they only know that the boss is scolding, and they are very unhappy, and they seem to have something to do with the gold star medal in front of them.
Zhang Nan, who finished scolding, stopped smiling, and picked up the box containing the Venus medal, there was no matching certificate, and there were faint traces left by wearing the Venus.
On the other hand, it is the most common first award of gold stars, numbered "5326", indicating that it was awarded during the Great Patriotic War.
During the Soviet era, a total of 12,754 people were awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", and about 15,000 pieces were awarded.
There is no doubt about the authenticity, Zhang Nan asked the stall owner: "Lack of certificate?"
Without fully understanding it, Andrei translated.
He said no. Andrei said.
"Ask him the price. ”
After a round of grunting, Andrei said to Zhang Nan: "He said that this is during the Great Patriotic War, and it is slightly more expensive, 1,500 US dollars." ”
1,500 US dollars, the "Gold Star Medal" without a matching certificate is really such a price in Moscow, but it is better luck to meet Zhang Nan.
