Guest Darrell Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 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.
