      Lt-Colonel Mikhail Avetikovich Karapetyan, KGB Just a single, but nice; and many documents. See: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26287

      Obviously (look at the photos!) other stuff is missing, but a group I am happy to have as a guest. Interesting how his bright (1931) eyes darken over time . . . . Any and all wisdom is welcomed, as always.

      Not a "document", but a document. There is some doubt over what this is. A kindjal hilt (?) or pistol hilt/receiver (?) - ???? Rick translates:

      The documents, in chronological order (on which I need a lot of help, friends, beg, please, grovel). First, from 1931:

      Lest anyone get their "knickers all in a bunch", I sent this off to Alexei ("Nota Bene") for a look-over before posting in public. I know (and others know, and bear the scars) how nasty these "eggs" can get. Alexei writes: OK??

      Just one medal, several documents. The medal #3696:

      Thanks. For me, those side-by-side comparisons work better than measurements. Very interesting. Hope someone knows something about it.

      Many thanks!

      Thanks for these, Christophe! The fact there hasn't been much discussion does not imply they haven't been enjoyed and appreciated. I know how difficult it is to photograph there and how difficult these soft-focus p[ebbled-surface images under nasty glass are to capture. Many thanks!

      Thanks for your patience. As always, any and all comments, translations, ideas, wisdom, or insights are welcomed. As I said, I have requested research on the gallantry medal, but have limited hope that anything will emerge, at least not anytime soon.
