Well ... I only have this lowly 3rd Class: ...with all due respect no such thing! Here is a pair on a hanger...3rd and 2nd class...the only way to confirm they belong to each other is research...but the wear indicators suggest they are a pair... Chris -

Gerd I don't know, although I remember seeing somewhere that the sniper badge was for an amount of confirmed kills (I maybe wrong)..these badge's follow a long tradition of best awards....below is a 1911 Best Shotist.. Chris -

Rick....as for his rank and career...I don't know his award book has his name and his list of awards which correspond with the medals I have...except interestingly his second Red Banner was not numbered as in "2" but was a single award of 150,353. Somehow it appears that he swapped it...or got one by some means...I certainly was not going to complain having a nice low No 2 in the 4K range issued in WW2. Chris -

The order of the Red banner of Labour is the second oldest order of the USSR...these medals are typical of the erosion of the prestige of the many Soviet awards (my opinion) as they became awarded by the thousand for far lesser acts. Before the Great Patriotic war the award had only been issued 8000 times since its inception in 1928, by the end of the war, it still had only been awarded 30,000 times. At the end of the USSSR it had however been awarded 1,260,000 times. These orders were still very well made which show the great enameling which the Russians were so good at. So many variation, so little time This is a a Type 2 (love to find a type 1) Screwbacks issued before the war. Chris
