    Great! I'll add that in on the dated serial number list! :jumping: Can you read what day (under the stamp) in March 1944 he got it?

    Hi Rick,

    It?s the 25th. Also, I did not mention it before, but it almost appears that the ?8?s? in the serial number are upside down. See below.

    Best wishes,

    Hi all,

    Here's my latest addition to my "train collection"... other than my train/subway medal posted here:

    Oh, and yes, the nut is incorrect.

    Nice to find with original screwdisks-- Moscow Artists Collaborative and the 1946+ Ministry (MPS) rather than pre-1946 NKPS.

    Hi all,

    Realized this one has been pretty quiet for a good long while. Has anyone added anything new to their Soviet railroad collections? If so please post. I'm hoping to add more but at the moment I'm just hoping to see more examples and perhaps more information on this area of collecting. I've always loved and been fascinated by trains. Didn't take my first trip until just a few years ago and absolutely loved it! Have now taken several train trips, a couple of them in the sleeper which in the U.S. is considered 1st Class but I'm sure it rates far below the standard of English and European 1st Class train travel. Kim and I would love to take a long train trip some day as well as be able to travel in Europe. But for now this part of my collection along with some U.S. material, some Lionel O, HO and N scale trains will have to do.

    Mucho thanks Greg! :jumping: :jumping: It'll be a bit before it arrives as it's coming from Estonia. Pics are the sellers by the way. Can't wait to see it in person... it will be the first I've actually been able to hold in my hand and not just see in pics. :beer:

    Received a few belated birthday presents and wanted to share. They're on the way so will redo some of the pics and repost once I have them in hand.

    First, an Honored Railway Employee Badge... I believe WW2 period:

    Now an Excellence in Socialist Competition on the Railways... first of two... what I believe is a fairly low number but I've not been able to find a ton of into on these. This one needs some TLC but I like it:

    These have been a loooooong time coming but so happy to finally be able to add them to my Soviet RR collection.

    As always comments are welcome. Need to get some activity going on this thread again so hoping this will give it a jump start. :beer:

    No one in to these anymore? I'm hearing the crickets chirp!

    Hoping someone shows up. I've been wondering... as far as these RR awards but also other non-military numbered awards... are there archives for these where one can possibly find info on the awardees, etc., as with military awards? I've never heard of same but keeping my fingers crossed. I know that the labor awards are not researcheable... rather suspect this is the case here too but until I know for sure I'll keep hoping.

    I'm always keeping my eye out for award booklets in the hope of finding one to match an award I have. I know of the site where SN's can be entered for various awards in the hope of reuniting them with larger groups and docs... but again I don't know of any for awards like the RR or other SN'd awards as in the areas of agriculture, engineering, etc. If anyone knows of any or whether such archives exist and are or might some day be opened for research I'd love to know.

    The double set of the Honored and the Shockworker badges arrived today and are even better than I could have imagined. I can't wait for the rest to arrive.. I was also quite surprised at one last present... the last one I realistically think I'll be able to add to the set other than any duplicates that turn up on what I already have.

    Needless to say, if ya'll would be willing to check any orphaned docs you have to see if any SN's match any of the awards I have I'd be most grateful as I'm always in the hopes of reuniting awards and their documents and most importantly their history.

    Many thanks! :beer:
