      Award record card 1.
    2. Ed_Haynes
      His posthumous OPW 1 , #58412. Some enamel damage.
    3. Ed_Haynes
      Thanks, Rick. I think it is a shame that the Red Bible didn't include the correct (Russian) names of all the awards. Ditto for Battushig in his book (Mongolian names).

      This particular museum is pretty good in displaying the real things, and what I had heard was that his Victories were not on display because they were locked away but that all else was The Real Thing. See: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9297 But why, oh why, did they have to put HIS awards in such a grimy and hard-to-photograph case???

      I think a lot of the White Russians wound up in China, especially in the Shandong area, so this makes sense. An EXTREMELY rare one, yes! I suspect the New White Russians would pay BIG money for this gem.

      Thanks in advance for translation/summary assistance.
    7. Ed_Haynes
      And the award is upgraded.
    8. Ed_Haynes
      And.

      And the (reinforced and thickly bound ) recommendation:

      And the Nevsky.
    11. Ed_Haynes
      Until.
    12. Ed_Haynes
      And it moves up the chain of command.
    13. Ed_Haynes
      And the recommendation completed.
    14. Ed_Haynes
      Next.

      I agree that the whole photo approach does sound a little "spy-camera" to me too, but it gives us more options in tweaking the images for legibility, though focus can be a problem at times. And the photos are photos, not mud. The other recommendations - The OPW1:

      A good one, thanks.
    17. Ed_Haynes
      No, scans, photos, from the original documents. What one gets from many of those doing research today. I, too, would feel quite obscenely sick if I had the originals!
    18. Ed_Haynes
      Pictures don't help . . . when you hold one, you come to see . . . DAMN, this is a BADGE. Also, so sorry to say, dictionaries don't help, much. Friends do.
    19. Ed_Haynes
      Close-up scan on name pls. Maximum size.
    20. Ed_Haynes
      Oh . . . boys, leather, and Nazis . . . the options are just TOOOOO many . . . .
    21. Ed_Haynes
      Nice one! Thanks. And aren't they a LOVELY badge?!?!?
    22. Ed_Haynes
      Stopped. And, yes, much chicken-scratching. No Revolutionary Penmanship Classes? And the ribbon bar . . . yes, noted that. Thanks.
    23. Ed_Haynes
      Have thought about it, mate, have thought about it!
    24. Ed_Haynes
      Oh . . . . . . . . . lovely . . . !!!!!!!!!!!!
    25. Ed_Haynes
      At the risk of giving a partial answer, but in hope of helping others (if I am right), I'd guess this has something to do with the ChON (Russian: chasti osobogo naznacheniya, ЧОН= Части особого назначения), formed 17 April 1919. There were many Komosol members, some as young as 14. I know this is no where near answering the question, but am I totally lost???
