Guest Rick Research Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Ahhhhh We have got to link up at Lowell ONE of these months!I love that gimnastyorka: finding enlisted ranks uniforms is VASTLY harder than officers, and yours has it all-- WW2 NCO, and wound stripes, which are NOT found as often as they should be.Now go and list all the serial numbers on the WW2 Orders for us to place them as far as approximate dates...

There is no photo in this book. I cannot read cyrilic so that is all of the info I have. The book Serial number is: "3 No 112867"** This grouping comes with an awards book with a picture of a Major. The only date I see is 01Jul43(?). The book serial number(?) is stamped "No 123725".The book that accompanies the Order of Lenin has no photo. There is a stamp across where the photo should be. The date of the award is the 20th (I dont know the month 1966. The book serial number is: " E No 076733".Best regardsPaul Reck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 We have GOT to link up at Lowell. All Cyrillic questions answered... or post nice big scans.I neeeeed that Lenin date for the data base!!! The civilian "*" group likewise will have each of the dates entered in that age book. Ricky reads names and dates , if posted. The Major's group that would be his Red Star 329,224 awarded in June 1943, so privileges started 1 July. His MMM is a 1944 date, possibly for 10+ years long service, other Red Star is a 1946 date and probably 15 years long service, which would match a 20 years long service for his 1950-52 Red Banner. Insignia will reveal what KIND of Major he was and the potential for research joy. If you had a (everybody!!!) Epson 2400 scanner... ORB "2" dates 1950/51Glory 2 = June 1945Glory 3 = September 1944Red Star 1,821,919 = 1945 Valor = end of 1944, early 1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
