Hello Bill,

Looks good and interesting, but the document for ORBL has been doctored. Probably a real document for another ORBL, but the number was washed out and fixed to fit the set.

[Egorka]

Actually, it should be other way around then. The order book is genuine and belonged to A.D.Sorokina, but the ORBL was missing from the set. So another one was added in and the document had to be doctored to replace the original serial number with the "fake" one.

I don't think anything was doctored here.

Don't you think it's suspicious that exactly the area around the number happens to be washed out? And with a weird paper damage, which is difficult to explain by natural wear and tear?

No, I don't think it is. The number itself looks as it should, and I don't see any traces of an old serial number or those giveaway watery stains that you usually see.

[Paul R]

Thanks Bill.  The Petrochemical medal is rare in its own right!

[Bill Garvy]

You're welcome, Paul.  I think the documents are much more rare.  There were, as I understand it, more medals manufactured than needed or, in fact, awarded, thereby making the award books much more rare.

I see ink remains and more. Do we at least agree, that there is mechanical damage of the paper around the number?

Just in case it is not a simple misspelling: Lyubomira Ignat'yevna Gunkevich.

Obviously the paper is damaged, no question about that, but I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with the entry.

More close ups

[Paul R]

Now that is a group.  So, if I am reading things, the CSM, ORS(one of them), the the ORB are long service awards?

[Sal]

Hi Paul

Yes correct they are likely for long service, but still round out his wartime service well. It's actually not correct group for this thread so if you need to remove it please do.

ill be posting the correct civilian group soon

[Egorka]

Hey, Sal! Great large group! 

The Red Star with # 3097xxx could be an interesting one. It might be for the Korean war. Could be interesting to see his papers to understand if he was involved in the Korean war. Or eventually his service record may be requested from archive to shed some light. 

Could you post it's reverse on the award booklet?
