JapanX Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 This one was recently sold in Russia. Red star, OGPW II and two medals for bravery. Nothing too exotic, but what citations!!! Orders and medals first

NavyFCO Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Maybe I'm off but I believe the serial numbers on both the Red Star and OGPW2 were replaced. The group is nice, but as far as I'm concerned, it's made up of only the two For Valor medals... Dave
Paul R Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Yes...there are definite signs of alteration on the numbers of the two orders.
JapanX Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Don`t worry chaps The enamel was restored By the way Edited April 23, 2013 by JapanX
