Award card reverse

The research just came in for my Order of the Red Banner, T2V2. It was earned by then Senior Lieutenant Valentin Petrovich Mikheev. It was his actions during the battle for Leningrad that earned him the ORB. During a battle he was seriously wounded. He refused evacuation to the Regiment Medical Station and carried on the fight. Only after being wounded a second time was he transported to the Medical facilities. I've attached his award citation, Service Record, etc. Enjoy, Doc

Order of Victory, There is only one version with several makers. I went through this myself. I thought that there was a gold and a silver version. They are all gold however some of the gold wash wasn't worth a darn depending on the maker. So you and I have one that looks silverish and one that looks gold. But there is only one version with no deifference between military & civilian. Doc

Dave, e-mail sent to Otto. I should here back soon. I may call him. If anybody would know it's Otto. Doc

Dave, I like this group I have a contact with the Hungarian Military Museum. I'll send him a pic of the medal and the document. Best, Doc

I've checked a couple of medal databases and can't find it. I have a feeling that it is a commemorative medal. Doc

Here's a typical Polish award case. Doc

Dave, It sounds as if you have a project that will benefit all of us. Doc

I have never seen a Polish presentation case open from the side. A pic of the top of the case would tell a lot!!! Doc
