Soviet my first reaserched group
Ed_Haynes replied to whispy's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Very interesting. Thanks! Makes me think back to my first Soviet medal, a solo Glory III to First Sergeant of the Guards Alexandra Vasilyevna Grebenschchikova. See: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2329 -
A rather uninteresting back with nasty points. Rather like the dynasty? (Attachment blob missing lower left -- again, suggestive of history?) (At least it doesn't eat you, much, though it gave me a scar. But not a cannibal, unlike the dynasty. )

Just to compare the three Order of the Sadul Star of Bikaner badges that live with me. Some very interesting comparisons emerge.

BUNDI: Accession Medal, 1945 (?) McClenaghan, #97, pp. 108-9 Based on the recent M&E sale, this ribbon is probably incorrect?

As some of you know (or may have guessed), I love documented groups. This one has a ton of them. Hard to scan, so it will take some time to get them up (and I may not inflict all of them on you unless you insist). This "Army Sergeant Miyamoto Uraji "This certifies that for bravery and merit during the Meiji 37-38 War [the war with Russia] you are awarded the 6th class Order of the Golden Kite, an annual pension of 200 Yen, and the 7th class Order of the Rising Sun. "1 April Meiji 39 [= 1906 C.E.]. "Viscount Motoharu Hisashi Junior 2nd rank and holder of the 1st order of merit. Director General, Bureau of Merit and Awards."

Have just welcomed the group to Senior Sergeant Miyamoto Uraji, Infantry. Bad tarnish on the Kite, but still nice?
-
And with document though not the award document but rather the Japanese "permission to accept and wear" document. (Sorry, it is so big that I had to scan it in two pieces and glue the scans together.) To Army Infantry Captain 7th Rank and holder of the 6th Order of Merit Saige Shoji, 1 March Showa 9 (= 1934 CE).
