See

for the Georgadze group, with a T2V5, a T4V1 and a T4V2. Maybe I should put up detailed scans of each here?

Here's mine ... (that reminds me .. I need to retake many of my pictures, this one is too dark and doesn't show the best details ).

It is a hard one to scan!

As I said, I have shown some on other threads that I'll not repost here, but I did want to cross-reference my favorite, the one to Alexey Karpovich Sergeev, a type 2, var. 4, #12577, of 1940.

Well, we have "sprouted" threads on most of the other awards, indiviudually (a good idea, sez I). Why not the BoH. Many others (speaking for myself) heve been shown elsewhere, as this is one of my special friends, I think it conceals a great deal of "socialist reality".

Here, a documented single of type 4, variety 1, 480486 (1966).

Documents, awarded on 30 March 1971 to Valentina Evsyukova [help with name please]. The order booklet was filled-out in September 1971.

A documented single, type 6, var 1, #707572 from 1971.

I think they have everything, but I'm not sure

Anyway, this is what they have

Yes, quite a bit.

The travel plans just saw an addition . . . .

Thanks!

Ed notice that your person is awarded the same day? Must have been a mass award of these on this date?

Yes, very interesting. As always, we need to know more and more and more and . . . .

Nice, Jan, thanks. Do they have all of deGaulle's stuff? Always useful to know where the medals of the big ones lie.

And, to present it here too, my "problem-child" "group". I think of it as a set of singles stuck together. (The price was low anyway.)

Type 2, 69482

And next page, ignoring statutory stuff.

Document, cover:

A lovely-lovely and one of my favorites.

Here is a documented example, variety 1, 11014.

Next page. No reason to post statutory stuff?

Document to Ivan Ivanovich Vasilikha, 1 February 1984. By decision of the Executive Committee of the Zakarpatskii (Transcarpathian) Provincial Soviet of People's Deputies. Document is the 1978 printing.

While we are at it, why not complete the set?

Ed! That is very strange! The enamel letters have not been buffed OFF the Academy shield... it's smooth and uninscribed?

He graduated from the Frunze Military Academy after studying there 1949-52, so I'd expect him to have worn one with that designation on the shield. No reason (unlike the "Stalin Tank Academy" etc) for it to have been ... retroactively censored.

The shields were applied FOR the names-- I've never seen a blank SHIELD before. Normally such a badge would simply have NO shield. The award paperwork that came with these badges shows a blank shield-- but that is because they were generic forms.

Tis a mystery.

Yes, Rick, and we love mysteries, don't we! The shield, while tarnished, is absolutely smooth and shows no signs of any purge. And it is pretty high quality silver. I know almost nothing about these beasties, so I throw myself on the widsom of the forum.
