The reverse

What's this?

Paddy,

15 pounds for a red star My standard buying price was $9 a piece

Marc

In 2000, the price for a 6 digital red star is only 50RMB in China, about $6.

Sometimes you can get a 5 digital red star with the same price.

I paid 45RMB, about $5.3, for my first WWII OGPW 2nd w/n 34XXXX .One dealer sold it as the same as the 1985 issued.

I think the trade price was much lower at the border. A dealer told me that she got hundreds of OGPW 1st and 2nd 1985 issued for only $1 a piece. :speechless1:

Thank you

anyone can tell me what they are? please.

As of Nov 1941 the 12th Rifle Brigade was part of the 51st Army (Lt.Gen. Batov, as of Dec Lt.Gen. Lvov) of the Trans-Caucasian Front (Lt.Gen. Kozlov). On 30 Dec the Front was renamed to Caucasian Front. On 28 Jan the Front was split in two, and the largest part became the Krim Front (Lt.Gen. Kozlov). The brigade remained being part of the 51st Army until Apr 1942.

Hope this helps.

Auke

Thank you.

I think the 12th Rifle Brigade was disbanded after the Krim Front withdrawed, right?

Hi gentlemen,

I got a group awards to a Guard Major who served in 12th Independent Rifle Brigade, Crimean front, in early 1942 as a Sr. Political Instructor.

But I can not find any reference about the 12th Independent Rifle Brigade. So I need your help, thank you.
