.
If you require confirmation in advance, please send me a message, and I will gladly provide images. Over time, I have found that redacting award serial numbers in certain listings (particularly of researched awards) has acted a simple and effective filter to sort good customers from troublesome eBay hooligans. Reasonable, rational collectors who are genuinely interested in the history represented by an award will make the effort to reach out and will quickly find that everything is in order.
Winner will be provided with
archival research
(
2 pages
– Award Record Card) in electronic format,
unredacted
, in color, plus an archival portrait of Rastopyrov, also in electronic format.
Professional English translation
of the Record Card is available if requested before receipt of item.
No returns.
All questions in advance. I will answer all coherent, respectful inquiries to the best of my ability.
