      Yeah, that crossed my mind as well. I think, i will let it research too, but not yet.

      Btw, there is still some dirt on the hammer&Sickel on the Red-Star. I wonder, where that comes from. And the Medal for Valor is very worn. I would love to know, what he had as well.

      Is it possible to find out, which Commemorative Medals he might have had?

    2. This group came in today. Its a Group consisting of three awards with Documents. There is a nice Red Star, nr. 580.534, a Medal for Valor Nr. 1.228.393 and a Order of the Great Patriotic War 2nd class (85er issue). Red Star and Valor Medal are documented in an order book, 1946 issue, the OGPW has an own document, of course.

      Sweet little group. I love it beer.gifjumping.gif

    3. Hi everyone,

      i got this Order of the October Revolution today. Serial number is 63497. Lowest observed number is 58645. Interesting is, that it has a very broad rotating-tool engraved Serial number. Also, it has some typical scratches on the reverse, which show up, when the order was worn over a Medal.

      *The Order of the October Revolution was institutet in 1967 and it was awarded to citizens of the USSR, Military Units, and civillian or state organizations. Itw was awarded for major contributions in strengthening Soviet Power and culture, bravery in battle, or creating friendlier ties with peoples or governments of the world.

      Enjoy this beautiful designed order

    4. Thats cool. jumping I already assumed so, when i saw them the first time.

      Let me think out loud....

      No Red-Star, because they were not instituted, when he had 15 years, no Combat Medal, because they weren?t Long-Service awards at that time.

      Active Duty since 1918.... so he would have had 20 years in 38, but gets his Red-Banner only in November 44? And his 25 years Lenin only in 45? Where is the mistake in my calculation?

      48 Jubilee Medal months before his 30 years ORB, that fits again. mmmh....

      Enlighten me, master ninja.gif

    5. Wow. Its even more beatiful than i would have ever dreamed of. :food-smiley-004:

      How thick is the Plexiglass?

      What rank do you think, could the former owner have been? When Red-Banner AND Lenin are Long-Service awards, then was this already an old fellow in 45, right?

      If he chose to buy such an expensive medalbar for such a short period of time, then he must have been a poser too. laugh.gif

      Now to find a Lenin and a RedBanner, which belong together and restore the medalbar. You should start to save NOW! cheeky

      I am glad i could help a little. smile.gif
