Russian WW1 Commemorative Help

Very nice medals, all three do appear to be russian. My Russian isn't that good but I was able to translate Pycckar which is Russkie on each coin. You have some interesting WWI medals.

My wife was manager at a latge apartment complex in Portland. I did most of the maintenance, painting and remodeling for them. I showed these to a Russian man who was in his late 50s. He did know english pretty well but his accent made it hard sometimes to understand especially when he got excited.

GX, your responce about them being slavac sounds right on now that I see this. He said that he thought they were made in Russian and given to people from the Urkrane, Poland and/or Yugoslavia for fighting along side the Russian soldiers.

One thing he did keep saying, which seened so about everything he had to buy, we they were very expensive and valueable. That the person owning had to have died as they would never give up or sell the presious awards.

Outcast: I have them packed and couldn't find our mailing address. Then decided to maybe keep them for myself buddy.

Thank you all for your help in trying to solve these metals. I will keep you up to date on any progress.

My Russian is lousy, but I do believe I read "Russian Soldier" on the first medal.
On the third, the reverse gives it away with the crests/names for Russia and Poland.
I'm guessing the first two are Russian, and the third might be a collaboration.

Wow, thanks for the information gang. iczech: I would appreciate any other information you can get about these and thanks for readin what you did already. I have a freind in California peicing bits together about them to find out what they exactly are.

He has contacted a few dealers he has dealt with before and they have little information about these particular war metals. He did say that he was offered some good money from one dealer and said to pass on it for now. The man didn't know what they actually were and never seen them before. He deals in 1000s of war metals every year. So my freind said changes are they are rare and valueable from his reaction of seeing them and the offer made.

Thanks again all. Will let you know what I find out about them. I know before these metals are sold, I will know the story on the. I have had offers before to buy them and unless I know their background I am not letting them out of my site.

Thanks iczech, I contacted one of the auction houses and they answered me immediatley about seeing them. Then another staff member wanted some pictures of them always. I sent the pictures off this morning and will let everyone know what comes of it. Could be exciting news about them being rare and valueable or nothing more then common peices.
