Nakhimov Medal, Var. 2, #9557, Oct. 1945 issue to a crewman of an American-
built frigate EK-9, Soviet Pacific Fleet, who repelled an attack of a Japanese
submarine during the Seishin Landing Operation in Korea, Aug. 1945. In
Superb Condition. Comes w. a copy of the award commendation.
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 1 Var. 3, #181873, Feb. 1943 issue to a 44-years-old
veteran of WWI and Civil War. He earned the medal in the Battle of
Stalingrad as an Infantry Private of the 66th Army, Don Front. Seriously
wounded in Sept. 1942 during the critical phase of the defensive part of the
battle, he returned to his unit in time for the final Soviet effort in Stalingrad.
Later in the war, he was promoted to squad leader, received an Order of the Red
Star and another Medal for Valor, and retired from the military with the rank of
Sergeant. The medal is in VF condition; includes original and complete Type 1
suspension. Comes with archival research.
Medal for Valor, Type 2 Var. 1, #1241171, c. early to mid-1944. Scarce early
sub-variation w. "short armor" in superb condition - literally
impossible to upgrade.
Medal for Valor, Type 2 Var.1, #1817365, awarded in Jan. 1945 to artillery
sergeant for action in Latvia during the previous month. He showed resolve under
enemy barrage and with the fire of his howitzer suppressed a German machine-gun
nest. Comes with archival research.
Medal for Valor, Type 2 Variation 1, #3567878. VF/EXC condition, a very attractive piece on old suspension. This medal was likely issued based on a 1944-45 award decree within a year or two after the end of the war.
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. EXC condition; includes original brass suspension.
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, #234594, awarded in January 1943 to a 19-
year-old Recon Scout of the 189th Tank Regiment, Don Front, for the Battle of
Stalingrad. Later, he got promoted to Guards Sr. Sgt., received two more
decorations for bravery, and was put in command of an armored personnel carrier.
The medal is in VF condition, a well-preserved attractive example showing a great
amount of character. Comes with archival research.
Medal for Combat Service, Type 2, Var. 1, #532144, with a document, Sept. 1943
issue to a Guards Infantry Private for distinction in fighting near Melitopol.
Braving heavy enemy fire, he delivered a message to his command and thus tipped
the outcome of the skirmish in Soviet favor. VF condition. Comes with archival
research.
