Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 There's a couple of scarcer pieces in this group, beginning with this 1976 award for 25 Years of Civil Defense.
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 Interior of the award book, I think this is the first time this one has been posted here.
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 In 1978, he receives a Merit Medal for Transportation Troops. Another one I don't believe has been posted here before.
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 In 1981 he receives a Dimitrov Order. We are assuming this is on the occassion of his 60th birthday. no fancy congratulation documents this time, unfortunately.
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 1981 was a very, very good year for General Colonel Palin.... Another first here, the Honor Badge for The DKMS:
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 Up close and personal on the award. Again, I believe the first time we've seen this one here!
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 Still in 1981, he receives an Honored Employee Badge from Mongolian State security!!
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 Interior of the Mongolian Chekist Badge:
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 See, a busy year! 1981, he receives an Honored Employee of The MVR Badge:
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 Interior of the Honored Employee Badge:
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 1982: 100 Years Dimitrov's Birth Jubilee Medal
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 1984: 40 Years Communist Power Jubilee medal. Note the second incidence of a silver stripe on the document!
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 1985, 40 Years of Victory Jubilee medal:
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 1986, a visit to the tropics and a Cuban 30 Years of The FAR Medal is awarded. Note the plastic cover. First time we have seen this cover on a Cuban Document. Normal? Just for special VIPS? No way to know for now....
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 Interior of folder showing the normal document:
Stogieman Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 Another first in this group. 25 Years of DOT. Now, I don't know what DOT is, nor the actual award date.... there's no date on this document. Can you help us?
Theodor Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Very interesting, he was a famous name in the past! Very close to Todor Jivkov
Stogieman Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 I have a little piece coming from Shipov.... that's about as close to Jivkov as it gets... More to follow!
Guest Rick Research Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Notice that his 25th Anniversary of Civil Defense was issued to him "at Central Committee of the PRB" and autographed by the CO of Civil Defense. Transport Merit also issued by and autographed by the Minister of Transport. MVR Honored Employed autographed by the Minister (scribble)-- apparently having 4 stars and being on the Central Committee got some extra "personal" attention-- though the later jubilees (maybe he was a Simple Retired Comrade by then, retired at 60?) you'd never guess who or what he'd been from only the names. Must have been fun, flying around the world to attend foreign parades and get reviewing stand medals on State travel and lodging expense accounts. :catjava:
