Paul R Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 Nice! Thank you Sir. What does the citation say? Anything really juicy? The seller said that it was for a veterinarian who aided 15 horses. There has to be more than that based on the volume of text, right?

Paul R Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 LOL. The Soviets loved to put many flowery words into their citations, didnt they? Thank you for translating this for me! There were not too many veterinarians, even then. I wonder what that early Red Star was for? Thank you Nick! :-)
