Thanks a lot Mike!

Now, any chance a gentleman would be able to let us know the names and ranks of the people on these Docs? Thanks in advance,

Dolf

Dolf,

Vienna, Belgrade and Prague should be here Tomorrow or Tuesday.

Doc

Mike,

Great! So the Vienna Doc will complete this thread, the others will complete the other Liberation of thread

Dolf

Thanks Mike! Only one missing

Dolf

Interesting. Apparently Alexei has identified 2 main variations of the Sevastopol medal. One with a rim and one without the edged rim. The unedged rim version is not identified in McDaniels book.

Apparently mine doesn't have that edged rim, and it doesn't have either that "problem" on the edge "along the letters "...polya." " !

Any opinions/comments?

Dolf

Following the order they are listed on The Guide, here are my Capture of Medals. I believe they are all of the Var. 1.

Unfortunatelly no Docs for these so if any/some of you gentlemen have the appropriate Docs please feel free to post them here so we can have a complete thread for these Medals.

The Medal for the Capture of Budapest, obverse.

Dolf

Thanks, Dolf, for the display.

I believe you suggested it some time ago, and I agree it's a great idea.

These Medals, either for their Historical value, as well as for their collecting interest are among my favorite

I'm doing the same for the other Campaign Medals (Capture of and Liberation of), I just don't have Docs for those

Dolf

That nasty ribbon for the Odessa reeks of battle

Dolf,

This is for sure a very nice one, with its part of history in itself... The ribbon itself shows some wear that makes it difficult to recognise... A very nice "historical" medal.

Cheers.

Ch.

Isn't it beautiful?

Man, this one might have seen some adventure! I just it

Dolf

If someone could help (Rick... ) with more details about the names on the Docs (such as ranks) and/or correct the spelling... that would be greately appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dolf
