Soviet hero / khmelnitsky group

[Bob]

A colleague of mine (she's ukranian) is visiting her home country and a friend of hers has following group for sale:

Skrinko Vasilii Grigorievich

Hero nr 8808 (10 april 45)

Lenin 107497

Khmelnitsky 1170

...Plus some "smaller" items and docs.

Before making her go to big effort to arrange high res scans I first wanted to check in hero encyclopedia whether the group is possible (echoes of war does provide circumstantial evidence to support so but getting nr to match from encyclopedia would be best) but mine is still in storage somehwere in germany:(

Could somebody help me out?

If real and should I not acquire it then I'm happy to pass connection on to anyone else.

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

It would seem to be OK so far. Skrynko was awarded the gold star 8808 by ukaz dated 10.04.1945.

Thanks a lot

I am going to proceed with discussions with seller in kharkov (hope to get scans in 1-2 days)

If it doesn't come to a sale, I'll give another forum member the opportunity

Great - thanks

The red banner is also included in the group so that also appears to tie out

Bob,

Please post some scans when you get them. I, for one, would love to have a look.
