Soviet My Soviet Orders, Medals and Badges

[Hauptmann]

Another little tidbit... it says "Soyuz Sovietski Officerov" or "United Soviet Officers". It is the badge of the Soviet Officers' Association.

Traffic Police badge if I'm correct.

Been curious about these Militia (police)/security badges for a long time and finally stumbled onto one. Can't wait to see it in person.

My early senility is kicking in again... I forgot to mention that research is pending on that Order of Glory. Whenever it arrives I'll post it in the research section.

Hi Andreas,

Many thanks for the info! And I know it's impossible to be totally sure until researched but do you feel this would most likely have been a long service award?

Any thoughts on the Glory? I'm thinking 1944 based on the green bible... does that sound right?

Yes the Glory s/N: 227.835 is most likely around the end of 1944 / beginning 1945.

Difficult, with the Red Star. Both is possible. But itz is not the typical serial number range of long service.

Yes-GLORY-probably end in 1944

"Krasnaya Zvezda", may well be Japan.

Maybe for longevity.

Hi Andreas,

Many thanks for the confirmation on 44/45 on the OoG and additional info on the ORS.

Many thanks on this confirmation as well and the info on the ORS. Would love it if it came out for Japan! Just have to wait till I'm able to get it researched.

My ORS's have been breeding again. This one with many thanks to Nick (Obergefreiter)!
