Dolf Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) Dolf,It also says that it can be awarded...For Bravery and self-sacrifice displayed in executing military duties.lOverall, It is awarded for High levels of service, merit and bravery. DocMike,Yes, I know, but what I was trying to find out was if it was only awarded for military deeds in combat in a war context. Mainly because I can't remember if the USSR was (directly!) involved in any conflict in the 70's. Of course there were Soviet military advisors in a few different places, including my home country Angola in the mid 70's, but not at a war like in Afhanistan (if my memory isn't playing me tricks ).So for being awarded the OSM it was not mandatory to have been involved in a war, right?Dolf Edited July 18, 2006 by Dolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Uhhh.... go look in the RESEARCHED subforum, and you will see what TWO of them were awarded for.

Riley1965 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Rick,Were you referring to what possibly might be a 1985 issue s/n 70572 DocDolf, both are definately awarded pieces. Your number is from around 1975 and the one from Doc is from about 1985. If one of them were mine, i would try to get them researched Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Research on the two above linked has been done. So we know that these WERE, in fact--if contrary to the statutes!!!! -- awarded for combat as well as general Command Breathing.Known documented serial numbers in the main serial number listing =http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtop...ost&p=75419Alas we do not have much of a data base on verified Orders Book'ed "crabs," and RESEARCHED ones...welllllll...I think I'd be willing to risk seeing what turns up in research on any 1980-88 ones.

order_of_victory Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Facinating, "Exellent work" what a wonderful reason for issuing an award It was mentioned when I bought the award and a few other 1970's awards from Hong Kong that it was issued to some one in china, but I guess that is just speculation Order of Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
