Here is a single documented Glory 3rd class. Interestingly with an "A"series orders book. Research is in progress. The listed Military Merit Medal is missing

Here is another Type 5 Variation 2, Nr. 305.920, undocumented:

Gentlemen, i would appreciate some help with this badge, i received from a friend today . It looks similar to the Military Sharpshooter badge, but this is of course not a sharpshooter but more a runner. Does someone know the name of the badge or can at least translate the inscription ("ТРЕТИИ РАЗРЯД") for me please? Thanks in advance Gerd

Nice Thats a keeper Check your email

Nice Crosses, Claudio, especially the enameled prinzen one Vizefeldwebel Rick

Dolf, i know that. I really like the early Type 3 ORB?s, but the later ones have their own beauty too. Gerd

Nice examples, Dolf Thanks for posting them here again You have a few variations, which are still missing in my little collection, the Type 3 Variation 4, for example.

Awesome bar, Rick

Omar Bradley was a famous american WW2 General: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Bradley Do you have the citations, Dave?

Paul, going by our new database its sometimes between 1967/68 probably. The research could turn out interesting, i guess. Gerd

Here is my latest (in a double sense) Red Banner, a Type 4 with Nr. 542.238 :

Is this one considered a znachok too?: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=6...indpost&p=74880 Its the only other numbered veterans badge, i have seen so far.

I am lost on the name, but the orders are Suvorov 1st class (S/N?) and Kutuzov 1st class Come on, Dave, who is it?

You are welcome, Ed

Rick, these links are connected to Dr. Enderle as well: http://www.rng-wangen.de/sites/unsere_schu...e/wgesch_06.php http://www.rng-wangen.de/sites/unsere_schu...e/wgesch_04.php http://www.rng-wangen.de/sites/unsere_schu...e/wgesch_09.php http://www.rng-wangen.de/sites/unsere_schu...e/wgesch_03.php The second photo does look a lot like Dr. Enderle in my opinion. Great stuff Gerd

Thats a great named bar, Chris You rarely see these pop up in this quality nowadays.

Thank you

Great info, Andrew. I have a question, which is a little of topic, but though: Could Artillery Pieces or Tanks or Planes be decorated? Or did they receive a special honor or threatment, when they were successfull?

Thanks for the confirmation, Rick.

Isn?t he amazing? Great research, Ron!

Extremly nice, gentlemen Thanks a lot for posting your Red Banners. Ron, could you post the reverses of yours as well? I allways like to see the mint-mark and the serialnumber, if possible. That would be great. Beautiful ORB?s everyone

You are right, Rick. They are too light. I can?t read the numbers either
