Romanian to English translation via Google:-


QUOTE
"Gorgeous. On the obverse rezinta from the bullet. It belonged to a former Army NCO of the Romanian royal who received this decoration on the front in the Caucasus, and was arrested by security in 1949. A Securitate, furious at the raid, found the decoration. He pulled the royal crown and held a gun to destroy. It was then stored for decades in the attic that NCO's widow, who died in prison. The patent was also confiscated by Security. despite the fact that it is not complete and that preezinta ago deecoratia still looks great and has a beautiful patina."


And just how is any of the story supposed to be proven as being true? laugh.gif

My advice to buying anything, especialy from the net, is "buy the object, not the story,"
