*CLICK ON THUMBNAIL OR ITEM NAME TO VIEW FULL DESCRIPTION AND PHOTOS
Nakhimov Medal, Var. 3 (with small numerals in the serial number), #13017, circa
1970s-80s. One of the last Nakhimov Medals ever made. In near mint
condition, probably the best we've ever had.
Medal for Valor, Type 2 Var. 1, #1753460, circa late 1944 - early 1945. In very fine condition.
Medal for Valor, Type 2 Var. 1, #2743047, circa mid- to late-1945. In very fine to
excellent condition, far better than vast majority of Valor Medals of WW2 period.
Medal for Valor, Type 2 Var. 3 (unnumbered Cold War version), late 1940s - early 1990s. Unlike the Combat Service Medal, Valor Medal (aka Medal for Bravery) was never issued simply for length of service. During the 1980s, quite a few of them were awarded for service in Afghanistan. In excellent condition and includes original suspension in brass.
Medal for Combat Service, Type 1, Var. 1 (with engraved
serial
number, small suspension and "Mondvor" screw plate), #20763,
awarded in March 1942 to a Partisan Platoon
Commander.
In November - December 1941, when the Soviet partisan
movement
was still in its infancy, he led a number of bold strikes on
enemy garrisons in his native Stalino (Donetsk) region of
eastern Ukraine. During the Soviet general offensive in
January 1942, he provided substantial support to the regular
Red Army units by conducting reconnaissance in the same area
and finding a route of advance for the Soviet tanks. A
highly
uncommon award commendation! The medal includes original
Variation 1 suspension and screw plate and aside from the
missing back plate, is in excellent condition. Comes with
archival research.
Medal for Combat Service, Type 1 Var. 3, #138944, awarded to a machine gun squad
leader of the 24th Army, Don Front, for the Battle of Stalingrad. On 21 January
1943, during the final stage of the battle, he destroyed with the fire of his
machine gun 3 German weapon nests and 23 soldiers while storming a height north of
the Gumrak airfield. The recipient proved to be a real war hero: later during the
Patriotic War, he also earned two Orders of the Red Star and two Orders of Glory -
an extraordinary number of combat decorations for an Infantry NCO! The medal is in
fine to very fine condition and includes original Type 1 suspension (albeit with
reduced screw post). Comes with archival research.
Medal for Combat Service, Type 2, Var. 3 (with U-shaped eyelet), #3185478, circa
1946-47. A very fine example on original WW2 type suspension.

old ribbon.
