Soviet Afghan-War era group
Gerd Becker replied to Ed_Haynes's topic in USSR: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Rick, you say, the Red-Banner COULD be from the Afghanistan aera, but normally is this serialrange earlier, isn?t it? For example, i have these two numbers in my database: 454.346 26.10.1955 489.908 30.12.1956 So its probably more an exception to find one in this range, which was awarded for Afghanistan. It seems, that the Order of the Red-Banner was very rarely awarded after 1956, is that true? TIA Gerd -
