Introducing the new year auction, after the traditional winter lull, we picked up an interesting collection, rich as rare items for the most discerning collectors and not so substantial in value, but has undeniable historical and collectible value.

Judging from recent sales of autumn, we see a return of interest in the rare high-level subjects. Thus, for example, complained about a portrait of Emperor Peter the Great was purchased in New York by a new owner for 1 100 000 U.S. dollars, a set of symbols of the Order of St. Vladimir was acquired in Stockholm for more than 200 000 euro, and the sign of the Order of St. Catherine London - for an amount in excess of 260 000 pounds sterling. The list goes on. It may be noted that in general the market is "alive" and returns the lost over the past year positions.

Among the coins I would like to particularly note: half a ruble in 1718 without any sign of an engraver in excellent condition, poltina 1817 SPB-FP and a rare collection of coins of the Soviet test in 1958, including coins of 1 penny.

Among the medals not to overlook the award medal "For achievements in education of youth", which according to the M. Dzyakava during 1871-1880 gg. given 18 pieces, the award medal "For the salvation of dying" period of Nicholas I, in excellent preservation.

From orders, a true rarity is a set of symbols of the Order of St. Anne of the first degree of the workshop E.-G. Panasha in excellent preservation. No less beautiful rare gold badge of the Order of the White Eagle, produced by "Edward." The same can be interesting sign of the Order of St. Stanislaus, XVIII Kingdom of Poland, whose history is closely intertwined with the state of Russia. Just before sign the Order of St. Anne's 1-degree for military service in the original box in excellent condition.

Compilation of the rare Soviet symbols, among which are: the sign of the "best drummer VESO for five years in 3 years, a sign of a higher school of the Red Army Tactical Rifle, sign delegate IX Congress of the Union of Communications Workers of the USSR and the sign of the emblem of the Society of Friends Air Fleet Azerbaijan early number interested collector faleristics post-revolutionary period.

Subject military historical memorability in our collection reflects a selection of items associated with the icebreaker "Ermak", the Russian emigre cigarette case with commemorative plaques and engraving, epaulet, General - Adjutant Suites by His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Alexander II.
