Soviet Medal for Combat Service

I bargained this Medal for Combat Service into the price for the Order of Glory 3. Class in my previous post. Your comments welcome.

Like the Order of Glory's suspension - maybe this one isn't original either.

It looks completely original to me. I like the wear on the ribbon.

Again, I totally agree with Paul... a nice original award. Been there, done that look. According to the green bible there are several MMM's on either side of this number dated 3.11.44 for long service. But you never know till you research. This will just give you an indication.

But definitely a very nice piece. If you're getting these at good prices I'd say grab all you can... especially the Glory's... those are only for combat so generally you have a good chance of coming up with very interesting research on those.

Thanks for taking a look at this one too, Dan and Paul. As I said, I was able to bargain this one into the price for the Glory. I visited the dealer's table twice - I got the pair for his first asking price for the Glory alone.

I think the price was reasonable - I certainly was happy. Especially since it was birthday money from my mother-in-law burning a hole in my pocket. :whistle:
