Soviet Order of the Patriotic War - Jubilee

[Guest Darrell]

Got these in the mail today as well. Thanks to Gerd (again ). Although these are the lowly 1985 Jubilee versions, they look pretty darn sharp in this mint condition.

1. OPW 1st Class Obverse. Pardon the flash that blurs the center writing. These things are really hard to photograph.

Here's a scan that Gerd did. Shows the detail a little better:

Here's the Award Booklet. I hope Rick or someone can help me translate the name this one was awarded to

Inside the booklet that shows the name of the recipient.

The "congrats" letter from Kostyukovichsky Local Veterans Commissariat is a PRIZE, since that is all that indicates WHERE he lived. The center line of that rubber stamp will have the CITY the local was in, but I can't make it out.

OPW1 above was to Nikiforov, Petr Petrovich.

and the OPW2 was to Karpov, Leonid Ivanovich.

Awesome Rick. Merci.

Attached is a close up of the Stamp. It appears that it's still a little hard to read

I am glad you like them

These came originally from Alexei too and he picked some really nice ones
