Hello,

here are two soviet artillery school badges from the 50´s.

САУ and ГУЗА.

The ГУЗА looks a little bit strange to me. Thick gold plating and the tip of the screw (reverse) has a strange ending (indentation/hole/notch).  

What do you think about the ГУЗА badge ?

best regards and thanks

Andreas

Looks okay to me.

How many ribbons are in the state seal at the top of the dagger?

Does the dagger have a catch button?

best regards

Andreas

Yes, it is possible,

Daggers without year are produced in 1956.

Only research will tell. As they are not given out consistently in order, nobody knows.

Sorry but me again. I have seen this badge and wonder your thoughts on it. I have been told it is OGPU to celebrate 10 years of the revolution?

Yes it is. But I have no clue about the originality.

Hello,

I am curious with this badge. I think it is some kind of tourist creation but I have seen a few of these around and wonder what information you have on them?

Thank you

This is a fake (phantasy piece) the real ones have a different inscription on the lower red ribbon (not KGB CCCP)

best regards

Andreas

Yoyo, can you post a picture of the Mothert Heroine medal here.

Andreas

I also saw some dagger without number and producing year, but aways with a producer mark like SIK.

I have no clue why are there no numbers. But maybe just forgotten.

Can you post some pictures of your daggers without numbers?

best regards

Andreas

Here is another one. A picture from a personel file.

And the other awards of the Major.

Andreas

There are no entries for Kapinichenko. But I think his name is Kalinichenko.

Compare the L from Pave(l) with the letter of his last name Ka(l)inichenko.

best regards

Andreas

I wasn´t able to find his group in podvignaroda.

I hope this his his name and I got it right: "Калиниченко Павел Иванович" ?

best regards

Andreas
