      This is a nice series I appreciate your posts, though some may dismiss them as "non-military". My only contribution would be the group to Ekaterina Nicolarvna Dvornikova.

      Nice uniform. Thanks, Sergey. It is also good to see the photos, Rick. Thanks. So often, so many seem to believe that the regulations were regulation and that the uniforms were uniform and that any different from the published rules is a fake.

      Nice bar. I suspect it could be either civil or military; is that a problem?

      Igor has a nice quality fake Victory at $3500 (http://www.collectrussia.com/DISPITEM.HTM?ITEM=13132) and an ugly one at $240 (http://www.collectrussia.com/DISPITEM.HTM?ITEM=15832). You get what you pay for but, in either case, still a fake.

      The serial number ranges and the date data we have assembled will, I think, be finding their way into the second edition . . . .
    6. Ed_Haynes
      Yes, if I could read Russian, it might be of use.

      Maybe not the greatest find since "King Tut's" tomb, but I just wanted to document a low-number data point for the labor union membership badge (strangely, NIB). Number 01467. Of significantly higher quality than the others that live with me. The documented range now runs 01467-26608.
    8. Ed_Haynes
      Just to keep the documentary record intact, a new low number data point (18009) for type 2.3 (the silvered bronze ugly one). A summary of "the neighborhood": Type 2.1 -- 10020-16999 Type 2.2 -- unnumbered (the "China border" one) Type 2.3 -- 18009-23354 (still awarded?)

      Maybe not the most important news of the decade, but a new low-number data point for a type 2.1. The ranges now are: Type 1.2.1 -- 16785-21645 Type 1.2.2 -- unreported (does the screwback, Cyurillic, engraved number type exist??) Type 2.1 -- 22468-36295 (after which the numbering goes strange)

      An odd one. A first variety border guard badge (B #E01). But unnumbered. An exotic curiosity. (And an ugly scan, sorry.)
    11. Ed_Haynes
      Sorry, having a "senior moment" here. I know I know (knew?) what this is and know I have seen it somewhere, but can't locate the totally forgotten reference. Help?!?! Thanks in advance.

      While I cannot at present prove it, I am reasonably certain that this is out friend, wearing his medals. Maybe his button broke the enamel? Under too much stress??

      Yes, this is a marvelous site and of much use, I am sure, for the Russian speaking collectors. For others, it is of very limited utility until some better online translation systems emerge. But then, as has been discussed on other threads, the emerging two-tier structure in Soviet ODM collecting is obvious in other areas as well. I am happy with The Red Bible's classification scheme, with all its flaws.

      Thank you Marc, maybe we just need a nudge in the right direction . . . ??
    15. Ed_Haynes
      This is starting to feel more like a guessing game than a quiz.
    16. Ed_Haynes
      No such thing. Books with sloppy research . . .
    17. Ed_Haynes
      It is nice to know that the Germans in WWII had the time and industrial capacity to produce so many "display" items. That may be why they lost?
    18. Ed_Haynes
      Ohhhh .... Order Budowniczych Polski Ludowej See: http://www.medals.org.uk/poland/peoples-re...republic002.htm http://www.medals.lava.pl/pl/pl3a.htm#obp And I'm sure Lukasz will correct us/me.

      I'd say, the three at the left (our left) bottom: UK, Order of the Bath (KCB, star properly worn) ??? France Croix de Guerre Not very exotic. Although I am far from certain which ones you are asking about. I am confused

      I'm sorry, the sad counting-down of World War I veterans, I can live with -- but for World War II veterans!! Makes me feel old!
    21. Ed_Haynes
      Museum legends for such lowly medals? I guess in the USSR anything could happen?!
    22. Ed_Haynes
      Very faded, but maybe . . . maybe. Much "bluer" on the reverse. I think this one was just worn a lot? He was very proud?
    23. Ed_Haynes
      Interestingly, these are awarded both to Uzbeks and both by the same edict and on the same date. What was going on in Uzbekistan then? And, as always, great thanks to Rick for translation assistance!
    24. Ed_Haynes
      Interestingly, this medal has details written on the reverse of the ribbon that seem to relate to the order, or conditions, or the date of award. This seems strange and does not seem to match with anything I see in the award book. While these things are often "matched-up", it is hard to imagine how something this bizarre would be insinuated.
