Soviet Order of Ushakov individual Medal

[James T]

I purchased this Order of Ushakov early in my Soviet collecting, just thought it was a neat looking medal. The order booklet has the medal listed by number but also has a previous award of the same medal. Is this a medal that was ever awarded twice to the same individual? I was suspicious at the time but the price was slightly more that the value of the medal at the time so, it is a multi piece construction. The photo does not due the medal justice its much sharper. I am having a real problem getting the photos down to the 65K size.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

Regards

Jim

It's not an Order of Ushakov, it's a Medal of Ushakov.

Regardless, it is a great set!! I should have bought one when they were a mere 200 dollars a piece! Your photo size allotment will jump to 110K when you reach your 50th post.

Thank you for your reply. I am working on increasing my ability to translate the Russian language. It is challenging and enjoyable too!

Dear Jim,

I don't know about such cases , but there might be same of these cases.

The combination: Ushakov + Nakhimov Medal happened, as you can see at the Mir-Nagrad-website: http://www.mirnagrad.ru/cgi-bin/exinform.c...n_code=mushakov

The entry of your Ushakov Medal in the orders booklet looks for me a bit suspicious: Strange ink + strange writing . Might be faked by the dealer ?

Best regards

Christian

BTW: Could you please present better pics of the medal and the booklet .
