IrishGunner Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I don't think I posted this one when I bought it during my stay in Yerevan, Armenia. Bravery Medal # 3645762 I believe Type 2 Variation 1, soldered ring. Thoughts?
IrishGunner Posted December 27, 2013 Author Posted December 27, 2013 It looks good to me Any guesses on the time period it was issued?
Rogi Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Any guesses on the time period it was issued?3.6mil serial number should be around 52 to 56 ish :S around there, I mean if you're super super lucky it could be a Korean War one but I've never seen a order or medal for the Korean war It is most likely a catch up from WW2 or something similar. That was awarded later on. The serial number range varies when they've issued the order. Edited December 27, 2013 by Rogi

Ferdinand Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Most likely a WW2 catch-up award. With catch-up awards it's nearly impossible to date them more accurately - the medal could have been awarded on paper in 1945 but also in 1941. These medals can certainly be researched. They stopped numbering these in January 1947. Edited December 27, 2013 by Ferdinand

JapanX Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 This medal was made before 1947, but was issued somewhere around 1955. For example medal 3 590 717 was issued on April 25, 1955 and 3 638 305 was issued on December 3, 1955.

Must have belonged to one person. They have the sequential serial number! So who was the owner and what they are worth? Thank You!
JapanX Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) What You think about these "Za Otvagu" medals? Originals Must have belonged to one person. Could be especially since (most likely) both were found near remains of the hero by some "black digger" ... Edited June 26, 2014 by JapanX
NavyFCO Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Those are beautiful medals! If they could only talk!
AndresT Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Originals Could be especially since (most likely) both were found near remains of the hero by some "black digger" ... We have serial numbers and maybe someone can check when and where he died. And how rare is that one person get at same time two "Za Otvagu" medals? It's weird to me. Why they don't give him some higher medal or order? Edited June 26, 2014 by AndresT
JapanX Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 We have serial numbers and maybe someone can check when and where he died. Personally I`ve never heard about persons who will do it for free P.S. See post #7 in this thread
JapanX Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) And how rare is that one person get at same time two "Za Otvagu" medals? Nothing unusual (at least too unusual) Edited June 26, 2014 by JapanX
