Romania Romanian Militia Officer Dudàu C. Constantin

[Kev in Deva]

I would like to post here some items I was very lucky to obtain

from a family friend who originally came from Brasov, central Romania

and whose father Dudàu C. Constantin

was an officer (Maior) in the Romanian Militia / Police.

My friend is trying to locate more items, however, he thinks some objects were disposed of by his elderly Mother in the immediate post communist period after the Revolution of 1989.

This is the R.P.R. Brevet Decree nr. 5o3 din 22. o8.1963

for conferring the Order :-

Ministerului Afacerilor Interne.

Sadly the award itself has not been found at this point in time, but one can always hope.

UPDATE!!!

Arrived at my door last night, the awards of the late Maior Dudàu C. Contantin,

his wife found them while searching for some Christmas decorations.

Apparantly he got the "In Serviciul Patriei Socialiste" clasa a III-a,

for his police work in the investigation into a serial killer,

(will be doing some more research into that story.)

He also was a veteran of WW2.
