      Chief, See last sentence of first quote above. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, It sold for $4,500.00. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, A very sweet border reverse OGII that was awarded to FCOG A. M. Mukhin. Currently on the well-known auction site. Regards, slava1stclass

      Rogi, There is also the Special Awards Record Card (SARC). The SARC is maintained for Heroes of the Soviet Union and Full Cavaliers of the Order of Glory. SARCs are unique in that they often include a hard copy photograph of the awardee. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, The single Glory 1st seen in post #243 above is no longer listed on the dealer's site - likely returned to its consingnor having gone unsold. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, Just happened upon this one - a companion to the female wound striper seen in post #74 above. This image of Olga Mikhaylovna dates to November 9th, 1944. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, Over the years, we've seen many images of combat-decorated Red Army female soldiers. This is the first time I've encountered one with wound stripes - an unidentified Guards Junior Lieutenant medical officer. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, In another sign of the continuing weak market here in the West, this year's New York Sale (XXXI) to be held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on 10 January has no combat Glory Full Cavalier sets among its consigned offerings. Regards, slava1stclass
    9. slava1stclass
      Gents, The composite Full Cavalier set seen in post #248 is now off the market. I can only assume it was returned to its consignor having gone unsold. Regards. slava1stclass

      Chief, It appears to be a simple typo both in the Award Records Card date entry for the OPW II as well as in the Award Recommendation/Citation Sheet. As confirmation, note that he only first entered combat on 9 August 1945. Regards, slava1stclass
    11. slava1stclass
      Chief, The way I read this he was awarded his OPW II in September 1945 (not 1943) for service with the 16th Army during its operations against the Japanese. A very nice Far East theater of operations award. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, An interesting story here. Siberian Ananiy Fedorov was a combat medic. Although the image shows him wearing three For Valor medals, in actuality he was awarded four. The fourth lies deep in his chest where a German bullet buried it. Regards, slava1stclass
    13. slava1stclass
      Gents, Four Fors winner and Red Army soldier Komarov from Kurgan was very lucky. One of his four For Valor medals saved his life although the missing piece remained embedded in his chest. Regards, slava1stclass
    14. slava1stclass
      Gents, An absolutely stunning image of a unidentified quadruple For Valor Medal winner taken in the Crimea on May 9th, 2011. Regards, slava1stclass
    15. slava1stclass
      Gents, Two more unidentified Four Fors winners. Regards, slava1stclass
    16. slava1stclass
      Gents, This unidentified dual-theater combat veteran is in the Four Fors club. Regards, slava1stclass
    17. slava1stclass
      Aleksey Nikolayevich Voronov - fought from Stalingrad to Austria.
    18. slava1stclass
      Gents, All told, 17 Red Army personnel were awarded the Medal for Valor five times. In addtion to Sergeant Major S. M. Zolnikov seen in post # 8 above, here are two more. Regards, slava1stclass Georgiy Sidorovich Zabaluyev was assigned to the 469th Separate Motor Transport Company.
    19. slava1stclass
      Gents, Kicking the original "Four Fors" thread to the forefront. Regards, slava1stclass
    20. slava1stclass
      Gents, Things remain relatively static here in the West with no new Full Cavalier offerings to speak of. Whether we'll ever see a return to the go-go days of the late '90s/early '00s remains to be seen - although I have my doubts. Regards, slava1stclass
    21. slava1stclass
      Gents, Period image of an unidentified Full Cavalier. Regards, slava1stclass
    22. slava1stclass
      Gents, A very nice image of an unidentified Red Army captain St. George Cross Full Cavalier standing formation with his unit. Regards, slava1stclass
    23. slava1stclass
      Gents, Full Cavalier S. D. Manachadze. Regards, slava1stclass
    24. slava1stclass
      Gents, Full Cavalier M. Yeryomenko. Regards, slava1stclass
    25. slava1stclass
      Gents, Ya. I. Samsonov. A very nice 4x4 Full Cavalier - four St. George crosses and four St. George medals. Regards, slava1stclass
