Hi Christian, It is not the Partisan 2nd Clas, but the Leningrad Medal. Cheers. Ch.

Back to basics... Question #148 A two prong question : 1. Whose uniform is this ? When considering this uniform, and its Soviet awards, one Soviet award (order or medal) is missing, for whatever reason... 2. Which award is missing ? The winner will be the first to answer BOTH questions. Good hunt and good luck... Cheers. Ch. Pic : ? Christophe ? ChR Collection

OK, OK... Will see what I can find and ask... Ch.

Ch.

I got the #6 !!!! Just a last river to cross (find the #1) and I will be the winner of Ed's great challenge!!!! Ch.

Ed, We HAVE to keep it alive!!! But your (excellent) question seems having demoralized a number of us... I have 2 questions only : 1. What is medal #1 ? 2. What is medal #6 ? No... just kidding .... Ch.

Ed, Hope will be... But, our favourite partners and players seem to have taken some rest... Maybe are we too cryptic ? Ch.

I could guess China, but... Ch.

Pfouuuuu!!! Will have to think about this.... Ch.

Hi Ed, As far as I can see, I have the feeling to be the only one trying to solve the challenge... . But, maybe am I wrong... I'm still stuck with 8 answers... Just need the #1 and #6... Maybe some clues... Cheers. Ch.

Thanks Ed... 8 identified so far... Ch.

Ed, Let's us a little more time. I'm sure (I hope ) we will find... but not got time enough yet to go in depth in it... Thanks. Cheers. Ch.

I'm back. But, without having ID any new medal... I still have 6 of them. Good challenge, Ed. Ch.

Tried to work a little bit on it... and habe ID 6 of them so far. Not an easy one, Ed... Cheers. Ch.

Quite fair, I think.. Guys, let's go!!!! Ch.

Who will be the winner ? the first one to ID the ten ? Ch.

Hey Ed, That's a good one!!! Let's say what we'll get... Cheers. Ch.

Ed and Jim, Great Congrats to Ed!!! I'm more than happy Ed got this one... It will be a real challenge for the next one BTW, I'll we be in Eastern Siberia all of next week, without techical possibilities to answer... We'll see.. Ch.

Perfectly correct... Ch.
