order_of_victory Posted December 12, 2006 Author Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) Now heres his other awards I will post the rest when i comes back from translation Order of Victory Edited December 12, 2006 by order_of_victory
NavyFCO Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Very nice!!!!!!!!! To a General Major of Artillery! He was fairly well decorated as well... 4x Red Banners, the Kutuzov 2nd Class and a Red Star! (Figure that two RB and the RS were long service - he still earned two RBs and the Kutuzov! NICE!) I can't wait to see the rest of the research!Dave
NavyFCO Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 I was curious why he didn't get a Lenin, and then at second look at the AC, it's shoved in at the very top! Nice! Dave
order_of_victory Posted December 12, 2006 Author Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) Dave,Wow I missed his Kutuzov is that award No 928 Unforunatly I only have the research for my Red Banner and his service record, but it does have a photo When I know some more I post more Order of Victory Edited December 12, 2006 by order_of_victory
Mondvor Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Is it possible to post good images of this Red Banner? Especially the area with a screwpost.
order_of_victory Posted December 12, 2006 Author Posted December 12, 2006 Hi Mondvor,Unfortunatly at the moment I dont have a camera so I cant get any better pic's, but I will see if I can borrow one Order of Victory
Guest Rick Research Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Please CROP the research pages so that they fill up all that wasted white space. It's too hard for me to read the small, light, and tiny.
Mondvor Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Hi Mondvor,Unfortunatly at the moment I dont have a camera so I cant get any better pic's, but I will see if I can borrow one Order of VictoryThat's OK! Thanks
order_of_victory Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 Hi Rick,Unfortunatly not I cant, I can get it cropped and get it bigger but it's to big for the forum Back to the drawing board Order of Victory
Mondvor Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Order of Victory, in the award card it looks like the first Red Banner has s/n 35411. Maybe it is just my wrong impression because of not very sharp image. Can you tell what is in the document - 35411 or 36411?Thanks!
NavyFCO Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Order of Victory... If you'd like, you can e-mail me the photos and I will size them and post them up for you. Dave
order_of_victory Posted December 14, 2006 Author Posted December 14, 2006 Mondvor, the first order is the one I own number 36411 Dave, Thanks PM SentOrder of Victory
Mondvor Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Mondvor, the first order is the one I own number 36411 Unfortunately, on the images of the order that you posted earlier serial number is also invisible. That's why I asked. Thanks for the answer.
order_of_victory Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 Hi MONDVOR,I will try and rectifie the imigages this weekend Order of Victory
NavyFCO Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Here are some improved images of the AC. Front:
NavyFCO Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 And the reverse. In this scan, you can see that the number is a slightly square "6"... a little worse copy and you may well think it's a "5" though!
order_of_victory Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 Thanks Dave ,Order of Victory

order_of_victory Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 Medal for 30 years soviet army and navyWow tahanks Gerd You spotted one I did not see, every time I look at I see another award I agree withyou on the dates I was just asking the researcher about researching his Kutuzov and he says it would no be particulary intresting Order
Gerd Becker Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Your screwback ORB, the Red Star, the ORB 2nd award and the Kutuzov were awarded for bravery. Only the Lenin (25 years) and the last two Red Banner(20 and 30 years) are Long-Service awards.I don?t know, why the researcher think, the Kutuzov won?t be interesting. But he has a lot of experience, so i am inclined to trust his judgement. Maybe someone else can clear up this point.Thats a really nice screwback ORB with great research Congrats
