To me too. It looks, like the Owner may have replated the center of the Glory 2nd class. The wear of the gilt doesn?t fit to the patina of the rest IMO.

I hope, not! Great stuff, Chuck. Also the groups, you posted in the other thread Please go ahead... Gerd

Its useful to post the pictures of the Ushakov, as this thread won?t have any relevance anymore, once its sold. Here are the pics:

Great story, Mike. Its good, that he knows, someone is actually interested and cares for his goodies. Please Let him know, that there are still (also younger) germans out there, who appreciate, that these men risked their life for freedom. all the best, Gerd

Very interesting, Claudio. Shows, what i know about ribbonbars. You are right, the german imperial stuff isn?t too impressing, but there are some intersting lots though. I was surprised to see many of the TR-awards with Niemann-expertise. I think, at least that is a step forward Gerd

Hi everyone i don?t know, if you already checked out the new auction from HH. Lots of nice stuff for sale: (I thought, Rick R. and the Ribbonbar-gang might enjoy to see this one: )

It has been shortened for easier wear. The screwpost is often very pointy and stung at times, i guess.

I agree completely, Ed. Ok, i am not collecting soviet stuff for very long, but i have yet to seen a "boring" citation for a screwback-ORB. This number should date around October 1942, btw.

I love it, Bryan . That one screams for research

Thats just a misunderstanding, Bryan. Rick said, he got a Badge of Honor, but not in the wave of awards in 1966/67, but only in 1971. Darrel, fantastic stuff all around. Love the documented Partisan-Medals Thanks for sharing

Tom, i have had a Police Medalbar (with 25 years service cross), which came directly from the vet and that one also did not have the embroidery on the ribbon. Gerd

Beautiful Breaststar

Great stuff, Ron. Thanks for sharing

Thats a yugoslavian cap-star, Andy. best, Gerd

Thats exactly, what i was hoping for Lets see, if research brings even more to light Thanks so much again, Rick. Gerd

Rick, i really enjoy it too very much. I can?t believe, i haven?t started immediately with Soviet Stuff and would have skipped the Mini-Collecting Altough, they were nice too.

Maybe he is a collector

2. 60 years MPR

Here are two common books to 1. 50 years MPR

I completely forgot to add the document for the SSFM. So, here it is:

Well, thats great. I wasn?t aware, that this is such a special case. Any idea, how many soviets were "on vacation" in Korea? And how did this work usually? Were any of them openly there or where they all kind of "undercover"? So, if i speculate, this guy was a Radio-Specialist or something similar and went to Korea to train Korean Soldiers on radios or whatever!? They were only Advisors, right? Do you can see, when he was drafted? The unnumbered MMM is (a little delayed) for Long-Service, right? Should i try to get both citations for the MMM?s though? Thanks, man

I would agree with Jan on this one. Looks like blue to me.

Interesting and surprising results I also look forward to read the article. Gerd
