So I would like to ask someone to do a brief translation for my jewel.Award card front:

Ostfront Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 Thank you for your help Koopyetz. As for citation, I have seen better citations for Medals for bravery and military merits, than this. I must say I expected something more spectacular, as it's a rather high order.
Ostfront Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Here is a better pic of this beautiful award. Those that were previously posted are horrible. I still haven't got the actual translations, even after more than a year... Edited March 20, 2010 by Ostfront
