Chapter 1540 I didn't have to buy it for any money
In the recent period of time in the international military market, the price of a "primary Venus" without a supporting certificate is only about $1,500, and the "secondary Venus" is almost missing.
The title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" can be awarded several times, for example, Zhukov four times, Kozhdub and Pokryshkin three times.
As for that Brezhnev, get the ball, he's a shameless one!
If it is a full set of "Gold Medals of the Hero of the Soviet Union" with certificates, then the price will be at least ten times higher, which can prove who received this highest honor in those years, otherwise you can only go to the special archives.
It is a pity that the archives on the list of "Heroes of the Soviet Union" and the number of medals are not open information and cannot be checked by ordinary people.
The one without a certificate is only 1,500 US dollars, and in Zhang Nan's opinion, this price is really low, you must know that the "Order of the First Class Nakhimov" on the market is worth almost 10,000 US dollars, and it is not unusual for the "Order of the First Class Ushakov" to sell for 50,000 US dollars, and even the "Order of the First Class Kutuzov" can be sold for about 15,000.
Sometimes it's really hard to understand the brain circuits of Western collectors, perhaps they think that the shape and structure of the Venus Medal are too simple, and the consistent values, vulgar and exaggerated aesthetics have become deliberately dislike the Five Stars.
Probably because of this, it seems to be similar to the price of a cabbage for a mirror painted by Napoleon's court painter and signed by Napoleon himself.
Values and ideology determine everything, a bunch of capitalist barbarians!
Zhang Nan bought this Golden Star Medal, and his nephew paid for the Order of Lenin and two Red Banner Medals, but he didn't ask for the Red Star Medal, he had already bought one when he came to an ant with his parents a few days ago.
Going to change stalls, after separating outsiders, Alexander in the back came up and whispered in Zhang Nan's ear: "Boss, just make up a full set for two or three days at most."
But those people will never get the Medal of Victory, if the boss really wants it, there is a way, the cost is very high, in short, there is still a way.
Even if the risk-benefit ratio is your own judgment, there is no guarantee of success. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Nan was not in a hurry to go shopping, and asked Charlie to take her nephew around first, and then asked, "What's the matter?"
Alexander and Andrei looked embarrassed, the two knew that the boss ignored, and they didn't even know an important issue at all!
In the end, Andre asked in a low voice, "Boss, you don't know?"
Yes, looking at this situation, Zhang Nan felt that something must be wrong, and it seemed that he was very likely to have done something stupid!
As soon as he asked, Andre whispered that Mr. Allen, a great collector of super cultural relics and artworks, was really a pure layman just now.
The layman of the layman, made a big joke!
Zhang Nan felt a little shameless, fortunately, the stall owner just now should not understand what Zhang Nan said to Alexander in a quick tone to buy medals, and Alexander was not stupid enough to tell the market management bosses who were responsible for collecting medals all the requirements to tell him directly.
Otherwise, in order to cover up the ugliness of the boss, the company is likely to only let the stall owner's unlucky people disappear.
Because no matter how powerful the businessmen here are, it is impossible for them to get a real "Victory Medal" for Zhang Nan.
It can't be, and it can't be done at the risk of losing your head!
That's the "Medal of Victory", the "Order of Victory" that money can't buy!
What medal in the world represents the highest honor?
Each country has its own national conditions and interpretations, but if you take the preciousness of the material of the medal itself and the influence of the world to rank it in a comprehensive score, the Soviet Union's "Victory Medal" can be ranked first in the world!
The Victory Medal weighs 78 grams, the base is made of platinum, and the entire medal has a diameter of 72 mm, which is a typical large medal.
The medal is set with approximately 150 diamonds weighing a total of 16 carats, with five corners set with natural rubies weighing five carats each, and a blue oval franc with a diameter of 31 mm in the center of the medallion on a sterling silver base.
During World War II, 17 people were awarded the Order of Victory, three of whom were awarded the Order of Victory twice: Zhukov, Vasilevsky and Stalin.
The Soviet Union stipulated that after the death of the recipient of the Victory Medal of the country, the medal would be returned to the state and kept by the state, which was established at the time of the creation of the medal.
As for the later "Medal King" Brezhnev, the Medal of Victory that he awarded himself in 1978 was withdrawn by the Soviet government in 1989, which is equivalent to depriving him of honor, not counting!
In addition to the Soviet Union, five foreigners were awarded the Order of Victory: Eisenhower of the United States, Montgomery of the United Kingdom, Tito, commander-in-chief of the Yugoslav People's Army, Field Marshal Zhimelsky of Poland, and a Roman king Mihai I who could not figure out how to get in.
Mihai I, this guy received the Victory Medal as a Stalinist joke, and the reason given by the Soviet government at the time was: "He resolutely broke with Hitter (Harmony) and cooperated with the Allies when the defeat of Germany was not yet obvious." ”
In fact, as long as it is not 250, everyone can see that Mihai I first defected to Germany as a puppet in World War II, and then turned against the water when the defeat of the Axis countries was decided, not to mention justice, he was a German mustachioed little follower and servant.
And the Victory Medal of this Mihai I was actually sold a long time ago: less than two years after the end of World War II, this guy was ousted by the Romanian government and later moved to the United States and Switzerland.
The ousted king became a poor bastard, and for the sake of money, he actually sold the Victory Medal to the Rockefeller consortium!
Just now Alexander told Zhang Nan: "All the Victory Medals awarded to Soviet generals and Polish Marshal Zhimelsky are now kept in the vault of the Kremlin's National Diamond Foundation."
If you want to take it from there, boss, it's harder than blowing up the Kremlin, and we're not going to do it.
Eisenhower's in the Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas, has a way and is relatively simple;
Tito's original exhibition was in a museum in Belgrade, but now it is difficult to say, you need to check it to know that Yugoslavia is now too chaotic.
Montgomery's one is in the Imperial War Museum in London, and it is not very difficult to get out, and it is basically unfortified.
The one in the hands of the Rockefeller consortium is more troublesome, and the key is that it is difficult to say who it is in after all, but boss, it is also the only victory medal that you may get through legitimate means.
Even if you get the others, you can only secretly collect them yourself, and you can't see the light.
But..."
Zhang Nan knocked his head helplessly and said: "Don't worry, there are more people in the Rockefeller family than rats, there are everywhere in the world, there is no goal to find anyone, and those people are basically not short of money."
But when you go back, you can still ask people, and if it's in the hands of a loser, it's not difficult to get it.
Forget about the rest, it's not worth risking for a collection.
This risk is enough to rob the British Museum. ”
