Riley1965 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 :jumping: VERY NICE!!! I would definately research the Bravery Medal and the OPW 2nd Class. The OPW 1st Class may yield some interesting results for past awards. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noor Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) 5. Group with the Red Star and "For Bravery" medalSupposed to be one group. Also I got "orden ticket booklet" but not the owner name .There is name engraved on the Red Star reverse (probably because to easly identifiable it, if someone stole it from hospital, sauna, etc.). Very hard to read it and its don't make sence much - Ognev Nakob(v)a. Red Star number 941 825 . December 1944-January 1945? I hope its not LS award ."For Bravery" medal (za otvagu)Number 240 2832 . Awarded May 1945 Edited August 31, 2008 by Noor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
