Soviet New Order of the Red Banner Reference Book
Gerd Becker replied to a topic in USSR: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Yep, Bryan, next reference to buy Ed, great news on the english version -
Bryan, like Rick already pointed out in the other thread, his 3.5 million Red Star and the unnumbered Military Merit Medal are Long-Service awards and you can only expect to get a list with people, who got Long-Service awards on this certain date. So you just have to ask for the award card of Comrade Tsibul'sky(or whatever his name may be) and the citation for the Wartime Red Star and the numbered Military Merit Medal. Its easier for the researcher to find something, if you give him the name of the awardee, but its not a must, if you want to find out, if the group is legit with the research. best, Gerd

Albania Order and Medal for Bravery
Gerd Becker replied to Bob's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Here is a comparison of both Medals. These are definately different dies. Look at the huge differences alone on the soldier. Two different makers? -

Soviet Order of the Red Banner
Gerd Becker replied to Gerd Becker's topic in USSR: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Andrew, thanks for the reply Yours is absolutely the same, down to the maker mark and the style of the serialnumber. They were most probably both engraved in the same hour You are right, its very likely one of the possibilities, you mentioned. Thanks again Gerd -

This is my last Albanian Award, a Medal for Bravery: This seems to be another variation than yours, Eric, right? -

Thank you, Bryan. I will hold back with my opinion, until others have commented too. -
Soviet Order of the Red Banner
Gerd Becker posted a topic in USSR: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Gentlemen, i have this ORB, which turned out unresearchable and i plan to trade it for another one. The other person in this trade asked me to put this ORB up for discussion and post some pictures, what is IMO very recommendable in these times of endless fakes. So please le me/us know, what you think. Thanks in advance Gerd -
Soviet Funny RB#4
Gerd Becker replied to Mondvor's topic in USSR: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
What i can see, is that the "4" is totally off and i don?t like the maker mark. They didn?t even bother to put a number on it or maybe they didn?t dare. But i am sure, a newbie will fall for it. -
Fran?ois SAEZ's LW collection
Gerd Becker replied to François SAEZ's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Fantastic collection, Francois, especially as everything belongs to groups I hope, you will start threads about the single groups and tell us the stories of these awards. IMHO this is historically worth much more than a collection of 50 mint, but unattributed Ritterkreuze best, Gerd
