Just to let you know, the knot has arrived and is an awesome piece. It will make a great addition to the collection.

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)
