Bryan Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I was offered this group for sale from someone I bought a Soviet medal group, but I will not buy it.If someone interested I can contact the seller. It seems to be a great group.http://www.soldatentruhe.com/sukhanov/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Zulus Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) Dear Bryan,many thanks for the information .The group is interesting and very typical, but I assume rather expensive, because Igor sold that group 2 years ago for USD 340,- .I think, that the research for the bravery-medal is missing also .The ribbons are also brand new replacements, but the enamel at the "Za Otvagu"-Medal is in rather bad shape .As far, as I could make out from the citation, comrade Shukanov should have first got a OPW 2cl and then received a RS.The 1985-OPW 1cl might indicate, that comrade Shukanov had been wounded in the GPW.Best regards Christian Edited June 22, 2007 by Christian Zulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 The 1985-OPW 1cl might indicate, that comrade Shukanov had been wounded in the GPW.Why? Sukhanov got an order in the GPW, what made him eligible for a 1985 1st Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Why? Sukhanov got an order in the GPW, what made him eligible for a 1985 1st Class.Dear Auke,Sukhanov got only an RS, which should result in an 1985-OPW 2cl - except when he had been wounded: They all got OPW 1cl.O.K., there had been no special regulations about the subject, who shall get 1cl or 2cl in 1985, but I have 2 documented groups with 1985-OPW:- Sgt. Gnitienko, Cavalier of Glory: 1985-OPW 1cl (that award is missing in my group)- Capt. 1st Rank Kandybin, RS during GPW: 1985-OPW 2clSo, I think, that there is a propability, that Sukhanov had been wounded.Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
