So the 51xxx would have been awarded for wartime accomplishments?
Re: Lenin 20.775
Reading the assignment of 29 june 1945 for the 51.368 (a very close serial number 51.360 on Echoes of War reports the same date and has been to an HSU) and all the other important decorations assigned (Suvurov III, Nevskij, two Red Flags) i would say that it is without doubt for wartime accomplishments.
