Do it, Paul, do it, Paul, do it, Paul, do it, Paul!!!!!!!!!!!

But this is a non-wearable table "medal", right?? Any images of the real ones?

Very nice, many thanks for posting.

Muchos Gracias!!

Perchance could some kind person translate this for the JOMSA???

Please! ?Por favor!

So sad, maybe some day.

No problem. I didn't know whether you inherited these or just bought them out of the spur of the moment. If the later, you'd best be careful, this hobby is a minefield for disaster if you don't know what you're buying

And, these days, it often is even if you (think) you know what you're buying.

Comments and wisdom are welcomed.

And the interior marking.

The cap.

And the sleeve.

Reflecting my main interests: There are holes for two decorations on the left chest. What? There are no clear impressions.

We need to get an illustration with ribbon, though.

Wonderful, many thanks! It is VITAL to assemble the basic sources before we have any hope of understanding these items. You have done us all a great service.

Now, off to learn Spanish . . .

Thanks again Ed, and I've changed the search from 'Red Bible' to the correct title. There sure are a lot of hits when I type in Red Bible! Unfortunately none of them were about Soviet Awards!

Than's just the nickname.

The medal has a eBay identification of almost anything you can imagine. Some defy credibility.
