Guest Rick Research Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Now can you make the PHOTOS larger-- try lightening the first one above--- he is either a Captain of a combatant arm in 1943 (a 1943 Orders Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) or a Senior Lieutenant with some sort of branch device up near his button. Don't need the standard Presidium stamp on that one.The 1938 "Jubilee"-- try for the photo AND stamp larger but UPSIDE DOWN. I am still not "seeing" enough of the Western alphabet with Modern Turkish type letter squiggles to figure out what NON-Russian Union Republic issued it.

Paul R Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Finally, The award. 1966. Most likely a long service medal?Thank you all for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Thank you Ed, for you compliment! I bought these years ago and almost sold them for what would have been a song about a year ago.

I hope that they help.First up is the full photo of the Jubilee Medal awardee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 x200% This scan has more detail present that I can see in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Could that 1938 be from Azerbaijan????OK, Abramov at 200 percent was at least a MAJOR in 1943-- TWO rank stripes on his field boards.Branch device I don't THINK is Artillery-- cavalry? Cavalry Scouts? It might even be Quartermaster, but the strap's too WIDE for that, then....only research will tell, I guess!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I dunno... it appears to be in a couple of languages! There is a portion of the stamp that appears to be in Russian as well. I wish the entire stamp was present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Here it is... magnified another 200%. I think that this is the best I will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Just about the cleanest Jubilee Book I've seen...... I haven't seen very many, but this one sure is the nicest! Nice stuff Paul!Thanks Rick!This medal grouping was my first significant piece for my Soviet collection. (20 Jubilee book and medal) I bought it from Igor back in 1992... before he was on line or even had a running catalog. Most of my collection actually came from him!

Gerd Becker Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Great stuff, Paul. Lets see some Medals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks GerdI will have to make some time to pull them from the case and scan them. I have them all mixed together in the one large shadow box.(dont worry, I do know which medals go with what groups)I am going to get some ryker mounts so that I can store the groups together with their books.
