Thanks for the input Auke. It's not easy to make out the details on the stamp.

Just wanted to show an unresearched document group with 2 Bravery medals I just bought for my collection.

Medals awarded to a soldier named Alexandr Petrovich Voronov.

I can barely read the stamp on the Germany's medal, but I can read the word "skola" (school)

Hehe thanks Rick. Drunked Ukrainian finance officer group. I like that.

What was the advantages to have a permission to wear uniform after discharge? :unsure:

Hi Rick, is that what you are looking for?

By the way, if you find any interesting facts I might not know, please feel free to divulge your information. :beer:

Hi Rick, thanks for your input. Is the document you are looking for in the .pdf document I have uploaded?

The group was already researched when I bought it, so no real surprise until I try to translate few things by myself. :unsure:

Last scan. For more complete information in Russian download the file : http://rapidshare.com/files/247067762/research.pdf.html

Award card

I got this nice little documented and researched group few weeks ago. It's from an office guy. Unfortunately the unumbered medals were not part of the group. Which should be Caucasus, Warsaw, Victory over Germany and 30 years of the Soviet army medals. However, these were included.

- Medal for Combat Service #1552563 NOV 1944

- Medal for Combat Service #1118229 SEP 1944

- Red Star #1595132 July 1945

- Red Star #2881318 June 1949

- Order of the Red Banner #395569 APR 1954

The group came with 38 pages of research! I'll spare some scans. The Red banner was awarded for long service, so I guess no need to include the scan.

The guy was a Finance officer in several Engineer units. He served in the army from 1933 to 1956.

Too bad he didn't killed 100 of facists, but it seems they needed those kind of guys in the planned economy.

For the Russian speakers, here you can download it in pdf file without breaking your eyes!

Nice set S?bastien!

First time I see this one. How does the back looks like? Is it numbered?

the star... Czech had an independant serie of partisan units awards, ranging from the star to the tiny badge, including medals, pins in all sorts of metals and enameling.

Anatoly, do you call fake "фуфли" in Russian?

Thank you Andreas!
