Medal “For the Defence of the Caucasus” is shot through with a bullet. This is a amazing and unique military relic that illustrates all horror and cruelty of war. According to distant relatives, this medal belonged to a veteran of the WWII (from 1943 to 45) and the Korean War (from 1951 to 1953) Our main motto. We do not sell objects, we sell the history. The medal is a part of an unusual private collection of “wounded” military relics. This collection contains things that were shot through with bullets, pierced by shards or shrapnel, hacked by swords… Alex, a military enthusiast, has been collecting these unique things throughout Europe during ten years. Perhaps, this is one of the most unusual collections in the world! This is not just a military artifact – a human life is behind of each of these things..
