    1. Two Silver Stars? That is amazing. I would be interested in seeing those citations. Thanks for sharing.
    2. I have never seen anything like it. It is an interesting looking blade.
    3. I have some new pics of that tunic that I will have to post soon!! Thanks Ricky!!!! Perhaps those last two graduated from the civilian academy then joined the Navy?
    4. I have always wanted one of these sets back in the 90s.... I should have got one when they could be had for 3k... but it was too expensive then... Dohh!
    5. Igor!! You are so lucky! A naval award, and to an Ushakov winner and CHIEF to boot! I love this order. Congrats.
    6. One of them was born in 1929.... that means that he was like 16 when he won his.(if won in 1945).
    7. There is a part of me that hopes that you dont change the ribbon. The ribbon looks so well worn and a part of the suspension. Maybe it was the wearer's way of saying he was part of a Guards unit(they used the St George Ribbon as well)? Who knows. Does the pendant look like it has been on there for a long time?
    8. They could be unnumbered medals postwar medals that he used for replacements, where he copied the numbers from his orders booklet with a punch?
    9. I bet the vet wore it like that. I would keep it the same. Regardless, cool medal. Are you researching it?
    10. weird stuff! IT would be cool to research them though.
    11. Thank you! I always keep coming back to this thread. Keep em coming!
    12. I think that Soviet awards are still be retroactively awarded, arn't they? I would love to add one of these to my collection.
    13. Can leather really hold up that well after 150 years?
    14. Welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing some pics.
    15. I think that mixed services groupings are pretty cool. Nice find there. Will there be a way for you to fill in some of those possibilities?
    16. I know... I was living under an oppressed state then. I have since "unstrapped" myself of that burden!
    17. I really want this group... I would sell a lung for it... I only smoked for 15 years, but quit back in '05. They are almost as good as new!
    18. Nice job! I look forward to seeing the completed project. How long did it take you to sculpt him?
    19. Nice one! I have not seen a modern US medal marked in this manner.
