pieter1012 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hi Forum members, a friend of mine, a general in the Dutch army, received this medal from the Russian Federation, but he doesn't remember the name anymore and asked me. Unfortunately, I have no books on medals of the Russian Federation. The face looks a bit of that on the former order of Kutuzov. Sorry that the medal is partly blemished. Somehow happened because it is mounted behind the U.S. Commendation. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks and regards, Pieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 It's a commemorative medal for 300 years of the Russian Navy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_Medal_"300_Years_of_the_Russian_Navy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieter1012 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hallo Balkan collector, thank you very much. The person in question is an army general, so surprising that he received a navy commemorative medal. Perhaps he joined some ceremony celebrating 300 years of the Russian navy. regards, Pieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 No problem! Yes, that's strange. The theory of him being at the ceremony sound like the most likely scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
