Yes, the reverse of both Red Stars look as they were sandblasted. But here is also an reverse which is a little bit more rough.

and the third one. The "3" looks strange.

here the second one ????

Let´s come to a more technical way of discussion. best regards Andreas The Red Banner "2" looks not so bad to me.

:cheers: I am speachless.

here it is

Nice medals, I hope you know that the suspenion to the braverry medal (with tank) is a fake/replacement. best regards Andreas

Why do you think that this Nevski is a fake? best regards Andreas

The bar looks okay to me. The two bigger ribbons are most likely added by the veteran himself. The first yellow / black ribbon is the ribbon for victory over Germany and the second one on the bar is for the jubilee medal 25 years Victory over Germany. As there is no official ribbon the veterans used sometimes the ribbon for Victory over Germany. Here are two examples with older plastic coverd ribbons. On one suspension you find two of the Victory over Germany ribbons and on the other bar the last ribbon is the 25 years over victory medal (yellow - black) best regards Andreas

In the period February-March the operational personnel of the group under his personal command unmasked three German intelligence agents, five traitors and betrayers towards the motherland, and an anti-Soviet element, and brought them before the military tribunal Nice citation. "If you read these citations you can come to the conclusion the whole Red Army was filtrated by german spy´s." best regards Andreas

Nice, to see them re-united. best regards Andreas

Look bad to me. best regards Andreas

I looked after his name and he has most likely no military awards till beginning 1943. As he has a second class OGPW-1985, he has no wartime 1st or 2nd class OGPW, but he could have a late Red Star, Bravery Medal or military merit medal. But it´s a nice group , you do not see Oktober Revolution awards so often in a group, mostly separate sold. best regards Andreas

I do not like this one. The mint stamp looks wrong, the T-shirt of the man is rounded and not square as it is on original pieces. I have strong doubts. best regards Andreas

Dave, the picture of the mint mark is not very clear. Is the mint mark straight, curved up ... how long 8 mm 9 mm or 10 mm. Here you can compare the mint mark http://www.soviet-screwbacks.com/ Possible an MMD production in 1944 V2 best regards Andreas

and reverse

Hello, found this Austrian military Merit cross with green enamel on the wreath on the fleamarket. From which time period is it, which class, value, original? Size is 3 cm. No stamps or marks on it. best regards and thanks Andreas

Could the first one, a german stick pin for members of the german comunist party in the beginning 30´s? regards Andreas

Thanks Dan, interesting video´s. best regards Andreas

Paul Schmitt also makes translations of these awards papers. regards Andreas

and from all parts and sides of the suspension.

To make a judgement about your suspension that is what we need to see. best regards Andreas

------------------------------------ To make a judgemant about the originality and the price of the Bravery medal we need better pictures of the suspension. best regards Andreas

---------------- Yes the Glory s/N: 227.835 is most likely around the end of 1944 / beginning 1945. Difficult, with the Red Star. Both is possible. But itz is not the typical serial number range of long service. best regards Andreas
