      Do not clean or polish it!!! The patina (Tarnish) is the natural wear of the metal. To polish it would detract from it's appearance and value. Doc

      Rick, I don't know where they came up with that chart. I was simply showing the chart from their book. Believe me I wish I had hard facts on the s/n by dates awarded. But, I don't. I have to rely on people like you and the reference books I have. Shishkov & Muzalevsky's two volume reference books are where the chart came from. I didn't mean to "ruffle any feathers". Best, Doc

      Rick, This list came from Shishkov & Muzalevsky's two volume book ORDERS AND MEDALS OF THE USSR 1918-1991. Doc
