Item Description
Original Items: Only One Lot of 7 Available. This is a wonderful grouping of Soviet awards that range from WWII up into the Cold War. This grouping actually came to us from one of our very own employees! One of our Gunsmiths served in the United States Air Force during the immediate Post Vietnam War era as a Dog Handler. During his time overseas he was fortunate enough to accumulate a small array of items, some of which were these awards.
The items features in this lot:
- 1945 Order of the Red Star (no. 1986513): The Order of the Red Star was given to Red Army and Navy personnel for exceptional service in the cause of the defense of the Soviet Union in both war and peace. Also awarded for 15 years of service prior to the creation of the long service awards.
- Order of the Patriotic War 2nd class: The Order of the Patriotic War was awarded to all soldiers in the Soviet armed forces, security troops, and to partisans for heroic deeds during the Great Patriotic War. In 1985 during the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War, it was decided that all surviving veterans of the war would be awarded either 2nd or first class of the Order.
- Medal "For the Capture of Berlin": Awarded to Soviet service personnel who took part in the capture of Berlin from 22 April and 2 May 1945.
