    VERY nice early civil award! :love::beer:

    Actual award date was probably in the previous month, since privileges started then on the first day of the month following, unless this WAS a May Day award.

    This research came with a stack of newspaper articles, Xeroxed (not always well). One is especially interesting, and the (well-paid) researcher both transcribed and translated this one).

    I hope this is legible.

    Now, all ("all") I have to do is match this one up to the stack of copied newspaper articles I have, get teh others translated, and try to piece things together.

    And, somewhere, I guess I need to learn Russian.

    :D

    Absolutely fantastic WITH Document and WITH Photo :speechless1::cheers:

    Ed, the translation states, he was awarded an Order of the Red Banner of Labor. That would have been also a Type 2 Screwback type, if thats not a mistake. Imagine a Screwback ORBL added to this group. :o

    Thanks for sharing some treasures of yours :beer:

    best,

    Gerd

    I noted this too. I imagine it was this award, mis-listed, but who knows . . . . Possible WOW.

    Ed, what is the name of the award in the scan in post #7? I can see the beginning of word "trudovogo" peeking out, so it seems to say "Red Banner of Labor" too.
