Christophe Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 The Medal for Defense of Odessa.Notice how worn the ribbon is! Probably the nicest of all Medals I have DolfDolf,This is for sure a very nice one, with its part of history in itself... The ribbon itself shows some wear that makes it difficult to recognise... A very nice "historical" medal. Cheers.Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolf Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 Thanks, Dolf, for the display. I believe you suggested it some time ago, and I agree it's a great idea. These Medals, either for their Historical value, as well as for their collecting interest are among my favorite I'm doing the same for the other Campaign Medals (Capture of and Liberation of), I just don't have Docs for those Dolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
