This is the Nesterov Medal.

Medal for Bravery. It looks almost identical to it's Soviet counterpart but is missing the CCCP inscription on the bottom and is made out of a cheaper German Silver.

This is the Order for Courage.

Order for Military Merit. There's also one for Naval Merit.

It would appear that there is interest in these so here's some shots of my small collection. These awards are so new that it's very difficult finding them in the wild. This is my highest award, Medal for Merit to the Country 2nd class civilian division:

Hmm... There's interest in RF Awards... I think I'll create a seperate thread for my RF Awards... Rusty.

The early badges are just great! Well designed and executed! Rusty.

Chuck, A very nice group! Congrats, Rusty.

I was offered a 1st class in gold. At least the seller claimed it was gold and wanted to charge me accordingly Rusty.

They look better in photos than real life! Some cheap aluminum... Still, I got a decent deal on the set... Rusty.

I remember seeing it on the Wehrmacht forums! Nice piece! Rusty.

Comrade did good! Rusty.

I forgot to add my set of Orders of Tudor Vladimescu: Here's better detail on individual pieces: This is the 1st class: This is the 3rd class: Rusty.

Gunner 1: Here's my example although a later piece it's still has the wear marks on it denoting actual wear! Rusty.

Order of Partisan Spomenka T2:

Order of Partisan Spomenka T1 This was originally a Soviet produced badge that later had it's statue upgraded to an Order:

Here are my latest additions: Order of Merit for People 2

Dave, Really nice!!! I drooled on my keyboard. Thanks!

It's a great site run by a fellow collector. Rusty.

It looks fine. Rusty.

Pretty eye candy! Rusty.

Is it possible to see sharper pictures? From these there's nothing wrong but a better view would help. Rusty.

WOW! I've never seen this much trash! Where do I start!?!? ??? Rusty.

Guys, The SN places it well in the hanging suspension types. The earliest SN being in the high 20,000 range. This appears to be a decent repair by the recipient. As far as writing is concerned.... This was right at the end of the war and materials were re-used. Look at your screwplates from early WWII period and you may be surprised to find a remenents of a medal !!! I'll show pics when I get back home. Rusty.

Both variations exist in that SN range! There are alot of sub-types for this award. Rusty.
