Tupper Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Hello all, Is there a website or anything where I can look for this number? It's a order of the Patriotic war with the number 681344 Thank you for any tips!
Gunner 1 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 To the best of my knowledge there is no website that allows one to find the name of a recipient based on the number on a Soviet order or medal (there are Russian language books that allow one to find the name of HSU and Order of Lenin recipients based on the number). There are researchers who have contacts at the Russian archives who for a fee will obtain for you the name of the recipient based on t he number and obtain his/her medal record card and other documents. If there is paper work with the order/medal that documents the name of the recipient, then one can obtain the award sheet with citation and the order awarding the order/decoration at http://podvignaroda.ru/?#tab=navPeople_search but be aware that the one must search the website in Russian and that the documents are in Russian.
Tupper Posted October 19, 2020 Author Posted October 19, 2020 Thank you. With the Russian language I don't have a problem ?
BalkanCollector Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Check out this website: https://sovietorders.com/our-services/researching-soviet-awards/ Igor makes incredible research, I highly recommend him!
Eric Gaumann Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 If it's an OPW2 it dates to very late war/very early post war period.
Tupper Posted October 21, 2020 Author Posted October 21, 2020 Hello all, found it today in my dad's drawer. He buyed it for my birthday. It's a 1985 badge. - but with such a low number. ?
Eric Gaumann Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 It's a great place to start! Happy birthday.
Bill Garvy Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 I don't think it is possible to research 1985 Jubilee issues of the Order of the Patriotic War.
Egorka Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) It is possible Bill. Jubilee 1985 OPW are researchable with a hit rate similar to the war time awards.

Otherwise there exists a small number of awards with a mistake in the numbers, like one digit less or one digit more. Edited November 10, 2020 by Egorka

Egorka Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 Interesting... I don't see any invasion into the number... The question is it a mistake (such are known) on the Jubilee OPW2 1985 or it is a reissue of the war time award but on the Jubilee type... IT is more likely a mistake... but I am not sure if any of the two theories can proved definitively.
Ferdinand Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Could it be a 1st Class piece? Some of those have so much patina that you can barely see the gilt. 1
