Thats a damn nice group, Dave I guess,, this one resides in your collection for a while, huh?

[Bryan]

This is really nice!

The next one who will buy it will be very lucky.

Dear Dave,

great group .

If you want to sell it some time, you know at least one buyer .

"Service Medal" + RS + Medal 20 years of service are for 10, 15 & 20 years in service ?

You have a RB with an extreme high heroic value in it .

Best regards

Thanks Gerd. Yeah, I would say that this one is a keeper. I normally "flip" groups (e.g. sell them just after researching them) but this one really fascinates me. I honestly think I'll hold onto it for a while.

Definately a keeper, Dave. Thats one of the greatest Red-Banner citations, i have seen so far. Did you get the citation for the early Military Merit Medal too?

Gerd- not yet. The resercher who did that research is very expensive with citations ($45 a pop) and there was really no rush to get it done. Maybe sometime down the road.
