Soviet Researching Soviet Awards

[SMLE]

I wonder if anyone can help. Is there a way to research the following awards. I sold these a couple of years ago but have always wondered if there is a way of finding out who they were awarded to.

Serial Nos: Red Banner 353037 Red Star 2267212

Many thanks.

If you sold them years ago, now is a bit late to get research!

That Red Banner is from a mass Ukaz of 20 year long service awards made on 17 May 1951.

That Red Star is from a jumbled range of numbers awarded late 1944 to mid 1945, so could be for anything.

Thanks for the reply. I know it's a bit late really but I saw some of the posts on here where people have researched awards and had never thought it was possible in the past. Peeked my interest.

Is there anything further that can be gleaned?

Thanks again.

Copy paste this and print it out for carrying around to shows-- might make a bit of difference for picking up any Soviet Orders NOW:

Collectors are of two minds about long service awards. They may be boring in themselves, but to me they virtually guarantee that you are looking at an officer's award and thus somebody who HAD a career which can be researched. An initial award type Red Banner usually indicates that the recipient had no Red Banner already, so might be fairly tame, by odds. But EVERYBODY got Red Stars at 15 years service between late 1944 and late 1957...

so you never know WHO such a "stray" may heve been awarded to. A mid 1950s long service Red Star could turn out very very interesting indeed....
