Ed_Haynes Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Ed, although the numbers are still akward, 36 would be 1946 and not 1956, since they started counting from 1911 as being year 1JanI knew that. Why did I get it wrong? Oops.But, as you say, still complex.

fjcp Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I'm really impressed with all these documents Ed, I particularly like the herder badge docs. you posted in that thread!!Great stuff!! Just thought I'd add these "certificates of achievement/commendation" or somthing close to that.This first one is something about the 50th anni. of the revolution!Too much to translate right now but I'll sort it out eventually!CheersJC
fjcp Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Something about Shockworkers, output, and achievement .Interesting though that this was issued after the fall of the Communist Govt.I guess life went on as usual for most people.
fjcp Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 A trade union 60th anni. celebration of some kind.
fjcp Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 trade union doc. Note the back ground, it's a NIB tade union badge seen elsewhere on the forum.
fjcp Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Last one for now. Two more really interesting ones to come, but they are too large for my scanner .
Ed_Haynes Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Thanks, JC. These certificates are colorful and fun, but hard to scan. Your efforts are appreciated!

fjcp Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 The two interesting docs. I promised earlier.Both are trade Union related and both were issued in 1960... Just fun to see. You've got to like the art/style of the time!JC
