My small Soviet WWII collection. Together at last!

[GIZMO8Z]

My Capture of Berlin and Defense of Stalingrad medals arrived this past weekend from Datrus in Moscow, so I thought I'd take advantage of some good weather and take some picture of them along with my other medals and Orders of the Red Star in natural light. Unfortunately, some clouds came out right as I got outside... still, I like the way the pictures came out.

What do you think?!

Hi Joe, they look great!

Thanks for the kind words! There are a few things I'd like to add... Defense of Leningrad medal, perhaps a guard badge, maybe a specialists badge that represents what my grandpa did during the war...

Nice growing collection. Those Soviet awards can be quite addictive! Goes very well with your Moisin-Nagant.

Awesome Joe! The medals are great. I also love the mosin! Have you had the chance to shoot it yet? I shoot mine all the time....and they are certainly a powerful rifle!
Congrats on your collection my friend

Thanks for the kind words! I've been able to shoot it a bunch of times and I love it!

I shot at exploding targets the last time I took it out. Here's a vid:
