Christophe Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Christian and others,I'm really surprised none of us can provide better shots of these two photographs (Marshal Pstygo and Gen. Golubev) in post #37. Let's dig everywhere; it should (or not) bring a first evidence and clarify things...Cheers.Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerd Becker Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Jim, don?t you can read? An Expert issued this document. okay, he is nameless, but he is an EXPERT, man!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimZ Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 It reads:"V.K.CERTIFICATE company specializes in authentication of orders, medals and badges from Germany (1914-1945) and Russia (1894-1945). We have prepared material to publish two books on the subject and soon these books will be available on the market. Our team has a broad knowledge in history and many years of experience in collectables, authentication and research. Every one of us has education in historic sciences and archive research. One of us has a PhD in History and has done a lot of scientific publications."That does not answer my query. Who???? And so what anyways - having education in historic sciences and archive research, even having a PhD in History does not make necessarily you an expert in medals. My own father is such a person holding graduate and post graduate degrees in history. Having also taught history for a great many numbers of years and having carried out continued research even after his retirement does not automatically qualify him as an expert on authenticating medals!!!! My opinion!! Be wary of any COAs if you do not know exactly who is issuing them!As for the original theme.... I've said it, others have said it.... "Dig up those pics". Anyone awarded a #7 or higher surely was not a nobody and somewhere, publications, pics or other period documentary evidence must exist! Till then its highly suspicious whether or not any high numbered Red Banner, even if in a collection, even if scrutinised by experts is original or not. With mints and russian bureacractic system, I am sure that somewhere, someone holds the answer. Finding this person and apparantly finding the evidence has been and will remain elusive....... But with no definite proof that these awards did not exist, there is nothing that can stop speculation.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Second Order of the Oktoberrevolution !!!!!!!!Just an addition: two late picture of Marshal of Air Forces Ivan Ivanovich Pstygo. All 8 Red Banners are visible as ribbons.Dear Ferdinand,many thanks for the nice pics of the late Marshal Pstygo, even if we don't see him with full decorations to make out his RB #7 & RB #8 .What we can make out at the scans is, that comrade Pstygo wears 2 (two) Orders of the Oktoberrevolution(!!!!) . Such cases are rare and against the regulations and statutes of the order.I only know two further comrades, who received a second Oktoberrevolution:- Brezhnev (that has to be logic )- Volodymyr Shcherbytsky (Владимир Васильевич Щербицкий), who had been party-chief in the Ukraine for many, many years.How could these happen? Rather simple: The first Oktoberrevolution the comrades received from the Supreme Soviet of the CCCP and the second award they got from the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine .Best regardsChristian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I looked all through my photos from Chief Marshal of Avation Koldunov for pics of Pstygo, but I couldn't find him. Maybe someone else might have more luck if they have time.http://www.forvalor.com/s90a.htmDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 This is the Central Armed Forces Museum, in Moscow. An excellent one. I recommend the visit Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Yes, the #1 destination for Soviet phaleristic museums. See other threads for more pictures. Especially: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) Dear Bryan,dear Christophe,many thanks for the great pics It has been my first time, to see comrade Ustinov as a (rather) young guy .So, to receive 2 (two) Octoberrevolutions was not soooooo uncommon ?One from the CCCP and one from the Republic ?Best regardsChristianBTW: Central Armed Forces Museum is THE "Mekka" for Military-fans, because it is the home of the "Victory-Banner" from the Reichstag - the most important symbol of the GPW.

Christophe Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Several sources, including Shishkov & Muzalevsky's book (p.38), mention the astrophysicist A.B. Severny. He seems to be the 5th one!!!Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 So, back to the issue at hand, I guess the next step is for some one (or some ones) to put in for complete research on these known mult-Red Banner chaps. It will be a very different matter if their seventh and eighth Red Banners are numbered XXXXXX or if they are numbered XX or even just X? That should tell us what we want to know?Awards records cards on these chaps would reveal all? Or at least something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
