Several uniforms have recently come into my custody that have a reported provenace from a "museum in Tiblisi". While some aspects of this bother me (a lot), I know the variable realities.
Given the volatile (at best) nature of Soviet unoiform collecting -- may I show you some of my my scars? -- I am reluctant, at present, to post these fully and publically.
In the interim, may I request assiastance on the stamps inside two of these tunics?

That was my sense ... not so much historical or phaleristic as genealogical. My interests (Indian troops in Egypt. in Gallipoli, in Mesopotamia in East Africa or elsewhere) fell flat . . . SLAT. Might be no particular surprise?
Good forum, for sure, but every forum has its own limiting boundaries? And one must learn through experiment the strengths/weaknesses of each.

I almost bought 10 for EUR600 some time ago.... but the price of research would killed me ;-)
And worth every kopek. mate, worth every kopek.
The Glory III (etc.) awards are combat gold, every one of them. Maybe "uniquely" so? Other awards might be, well, flaccid.
And the research is cheap, compared to what the recipients endured (in a good cause)? Don't you own then that much??

(about the badge-not the GWF- a brilliant forum I might add)
My efforts at asking questions -- OK, about non-Europeans, outside Europe in the Great War -- at the GWF have come up at 0.0% joy.

You have the POWER to do that, Chris, unlike us Mere Mortals.
Stay with this research. Great stuff. Often frustraing, but fulfilling at the end.

YESSSSS!!!
Who are these people, who are these people? Finding out and conjoining forces . . . .
That thing you see looming on the horizon . . . is . . . a . . . revolution?
Tip of the metaphorical iceberg, mate, tip of the iceberg! Hold on . . . tight . . . .

A lot of Turkish collectors have entered the market, reclaiming Ottoman (not GERMAN!) national patrimony . . . .

These are from the "Московском заводе "Платинаприбор" (Planapribor factory). Look at page 4 of the Order of the Red Star from Mondvor website.
Here is the serial number range :
min - 1792337, max - 1945503.min - 2051119, max - 2290504.
Shall do so, if my Russian (and online translator saviors) stand ANY chance . . . .

Given what is involved in doing the research (archival research is a lot of work, more so in Tsar Putin's Russia), I see the cost or research as quite reasonable. Just wish the timetables were kinder to finite patience.
Don't desecrate history, please. Let someone else adopt them. (Hint, hint . . . )

The section of the "Sky Blue Bible" that deals with these is quite rich, but also quite complex, far more than just the "simple" linguistic issues. This will take some time to disentangle.
I am, however, hoping to get an early translation of at least one table (p. 184):
