SergioV,
I also confirm that this is an OBH that has been altered and its serial number changed.

Re: Order of Honor 1572115
Guys, As you rightly said, this order is an alteration of an OBH. The original serial number was removed most likely by blasting the surface; this is not as complicated as it sounds since serial numbers were engraved very lightly on most late OBHs. The handwriting of the "new" serial numbe...

Re: ORS n.216669 + ORB n.404145 Maj. Aronov Yelizar Mendelev
Guys, You may be looking for dark purposes whereas the explanation might be quite simple: in Worker's Heaven, a person, regardless of its gender, could choose to take his/her spouse's last name. This is still in practice today in most former Soviet Republics. In the case of a Jew, everyday's life wo...

Re: alessandro III
Gotica,
I can't tell anything about the medal itself, but the suspension is definitely not a Russian imperial one. It is a Soviet post-war suspension.

Re: Medaglie per la cattura
Dom, Interesting position, but I believe that its premises might be erroneous. If I accurately understood your explanation, you call this a "U" type because the ring is similar to the second type of the Defense of Caucasus and Defense of Polar Regions medals. As far as I know, for both of ...

Translation of Dom's message: I apologize to our Italian friends for writing this explanation in French, I am afraid that it might be translated inaccurately. Given my poor mastery of the English language, I'd appreciate if Marc could translate the substance of my post to help fellow Forum members....

Nice early stars, Joe!
It seems to me that the enamel may have been replaced on star 112698.

Re: Medaglie per la cattura
Dom, I believe that this is not a second, but a third variant of the medal, even though the ring is slightly less rounded than usual. The base of the П-shaped ring has a very specific shape, unlike that on the medal you show. As of today, I have never seen a real V2 of the Capture of Vienna or the L...

Re: HSU Stella d'Eroe dell'Unione Sovietica
Airon, Let me start in reverse order, then [110.gif As far as I know, only suspensions of the first type were numbered, and the numbers on the suspension does not correspond to the number on the star. Here are a few examples: Star / Suspension 614 / 605 705 / 7?0 751 / 722 893 / ?52 981 / 140 990 / ...

Nice orders
As was already mentioned, I am confident that both medal documents are bad.

Re: HSU Stella d'Eroe dell'Unione Sovietica
Airon, You are right, the punches used on the first award star are unusual for a Hero star. This is actually the only one that I know of having this style of digits. That being said, these punches are the same ones that are used, as you mentioned, for duplicates. My guess is that Gorshkov, given his...

Re: Stella d'Eroe dell'Unione Sovietica
Now, to answer some of the comments that were made since my original post (some of which being addressed to me personally [146 ), I do not claim to be anything more than a phaleristics enthusiast specializing in Soviet awards. I have been collecting and studying them for 20 years, and I am always wi...

Re: Stella d'Eroe dell'Unione Sovietica
Here is an extremely rare second award of the Hero star to Admiral Gorshkov. The second Hero star is imprinted with Roman numeral II on the top arm of the star, the serial number being stamped underneath. Third and fourth awards are marked III and IV respectively on the top arm of the star. Numberin...

Re: Stella d'Eroe dell'Unione Sovietica
Guys, It seems that I have opened Pandora's box with my comments [110.gif So, from what I have read (well, tried to, at least), I believe that we first need to go through some basics. Both McDaniel and Mondvor define 2 types of Hero star, the difference being the suspension. This basic distinction i...

Re: Stella d'Eroe dell'Unione Sovietica
Hi All, Sorry to have to write in English, but my Italian skills are close to non-existant [1535 This star is clearly a fake, probably made in real gold. The document was washed and filled in, the picture and a fake stamp added. Finally, the box is not the proper one for a Hero star. In the case of ...
