RedMaestro Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 These are my 3 single awards. The red star (#2,711,370) was my first soviet medal, which I bought at a Madrid coin market. I found the red banner (#109,668) and MMM (#292,895) tucked away in the back corner of an antique store. The ORB only cost me $80. I also have a documented RBL (#1,174,823), but I have no pictures of that one handy. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 That Red Banner is virtually certainly a "real" award--> For Something, before the mass long service awards. I've noted one only 33 numbers off from it that was awarded 20 August 1944-- so for the Summer '44 offensive, p[robably.Your "Spanish" Red Star falls right between known numbers on two batchs of 15 year long service awards from 1947, so chances are you've got a career officer there-- with who knows what OTHER awards!Nice May 1943 MMM.

RedMaestro Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 I'm glad you like them! Any chance of getting research? I know you mentioned, Rick, that Nota Bene's service can't find singe awards, but are there any others that can? Thanks!-Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
