RedMaestro Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hi All, I recently added quite a lot to my collection, probably marking the highest ratio of new material per time in my mere three years of collecting In the last few weeks I picked up four late-issue Orders of the Red Star and two soviet groups. I am awaiting research on all but one Red Star (the lowest numbered one, a long-service award). One Red Star is certainly for wounds. Another is only about 70 numbers off from one awarded to a high-ranking general, and the third is in a very odd serial number range where I have very little data to compare it to. I am hoping these prove interesting. One of the groups features a soviet combat merit medal awarded to a Mongolian Lieutenant Colonel, one of only about 200 such awards (see Sharavyn Jamsranjav). The newest group is a 1968 Order of Glory 3rd Class awarded in 1968 and an Order of the Red Banner of Labor awarded in 1974. I really love this group because of the combination of awards. When research arrives, I will be posting these medals in the soviet section of the forum. Enjoy! Thanks for looking! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
