Soviet awards number tracing and research
Inviato: sab nov 19, 2016 11:19 pm
Hello,
I though I will post it here. I am sure many of you already know this, but there maybe some others that don't.
There are 4 types of material that can be acquired.
Firstly, for military Soviet awards, I can make research by number for 25Euro for Register Card translated to English (you get photocopy of the document and English translation). Plus 10 Euro for citation translated to English (this is really the most interesting stuff). In any case if the award cannot be traced it costs nothing for you, so there is not risk there. In most cases it takes 7-15 days to get the results. But every such research is individual and the outcome may vary depending on many factors.
Secondly, for officers you can additionally request Service Registration Card, where the you can see service record (units, periods, other remarks on f.ex. captivity, etc.). The price and conditions as above - 25Euro.
The third option available for officers is Personal File, with much more information and a photo in most cases. It gives much information on the award recipient. But it is not cheap. The minimal price is 210Euro. For this you get photocopy of the Personal File and a couple of pages translated. If you want to translate more - it will cost more. Since the size of individual Personal File is unpredictable, it is not possible to say the price. But this is heavy stuff, and we can talk about it later, shell you be interested and satisfied with other deliveries.
And the fourth point: I can also make additional research on the person and his unit, trying to collect some relevant info. The time I use on this doesn't cost you anything ( I find doing such research fascinating). But translation of the documents (if I find any) will cost per page from 5 (little to translate) to 25Euro (for heavy stuff). If we do this, I will first let you know what is available, so that you can choose self if you want me to translate or not (again no risk for you). I am not really much after money here, but mainly interested in the historical aspect of it. Just think it would be fair if some of my used time is compensated. You can see some research examples on this forum for awards in my collection. For payment I have PayPal.
Kind regards / Igor
