Albania Order of the Partisan Star
Ed_Haynes replied to Bob's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Sounds like the sort of bumpy ride we've had to endure with Mongolian awards: From nothing available or even much known, to knowledge literally opening the vaults and a flood of specimens, to the current scarcity as what came out has now been sucked up. -
Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Ed_Haynes replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
But he never received any Soviet awards did he? (Though his wife did. ) -
DDR DDR ribbon bar question
Ed_Haynes replied to Mike Page's topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
Aren't these ribbon bars heavily faked? I know so many uniform collectors just have them made up just to add as color to a uniform. How do you tell good from fake? Or can you?? -
Soviet Order of Glory 2nd Class (To Tank Scout)
Ed_Haynes replied to Paul R's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Yep, except this means that we have to place "Learn Russian" on our "to-do" lists? -
Good question, Tony. But no information. From the "feel", I'd guess Huguenin, but I have never seen one marked. I was scheduled to get a lot of information, but then the invasion came and put and end to that.

Interesting puzzles. Don't you just LOVE the Polar Star?

Is ka matlab to kyaa hai? (Sorry, script unavailable.) What does this mean???
-
I am not. Except it was "obtained" in Kuwait after its "liberation" during Gulf War II by a US soldier. Beyond that I do not know. Yet, as people so often intone: provenance. I agree that the overall design "vocabulary" is wrong for anything Arab (except, maybe, Saudi Arabian, but no one has ever seen any such thing from that side). I love puzzles.

Frankly, I do see it as ungentlemanly when you post photos and a request for information (as "slava" did) and then say, "OK, I know now", and say no more, share no results. Frankly, one would be quite justified in being disinclined to help such a person.

Interior scans???

Soviet Sergeant Chubaryh Group
Ed_Haynes replied to Mondvor's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Thanks for the pictures! Hsving a face to go with the set always helps. -
No, it certainly isn't Sanskrit, and it is TOTALLY unlike anything I have seen in South Asia over the past 35 years or so. Thanks for the guess though.
