NavyFCO Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 All:I just picked up these ribbons in the collection I bought This should be a pretty easy set to find the owner of, as he had both the Suvorov 1st and two Kutuzov 1st. I'm guessing that he probably was an HSU as well, and was probably a General Lieutenant at the end of the War (or higher). I think this might be a fun excercise to find out who the original owner of these were! Fire away!Dave
