RichieC Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Does anyone here on the forum know and/or have documentation on which date this medal was first actually issued? I have read that it was instituted on 22 December 1942, but was "told" that it was not issued until 1944. Richie C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 RichieC,According to my PMD The Defense of Sevastopol was instituted on 22 December 1942. The time period considered for award is 5 November 1941 to 4 July 1942. It doesn't say anything about when it was first awarded. The document it shows has an award date of 1945.Does anyone here on the forum know and/or have documentation on which date this medal was first actually issued? I have read that it was instituted on 22 December 1942, but was "told" that it was not issued until 1944. Richie C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudeman Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 If you don't want to wait, the McDaniel reference has one awarded NOV 43 on pg. 268 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Not early but strange. This one issued 16 June 1944 to "Comrade" Ivan Ivanovich Volynkin (apparently a civilian, part of a group already posted here someplace on an earlier thread) was issued by one "Sacheva," as Deputy Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Crimean ASSR:[attachmentid=26860]These were supposed to be issued at Oblast level. I've never seen one from the "Republic" level other than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will buy a wonderful Epson scanner. I will buy a wonderful Epson scanner....He!he!he!... It should be mandatory for posting clear pics! I must say I completely agree with Rick on this one, scanners are almost always much better than digital cameras for this kind of detailed views!Unfortunatelly my HP PSC 2355 all-in-one is simply a disaster for stuff that is not completely flat, the only thing it's good for is for scanning pictures, anything on paper, but not good for 3 dimension stuff!So I still use my old UMAX Astra 1220P for the Medals, as the result is much better than with my more recent digital camera, a Canon PowerShot A 80. Digital cameras are only better for larger stuff, as for taking pictures of a Display case containing a number of pieces.Dolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 There are NO freaky convoluted, complicated, involved "resizing" and resizing the resized resizes with an Epson scanner. YOU make a scan the exact, precise, visible size YOU want, once, done. Bingo.EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUNK.Life is simple with an Epson scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
