Get the award card for one of the medals, that will probably solve this mystery (for only $20)

Would be very interesting to find out more. Who knows, there could be a great story to be told.

Please update the thread if you decide to research any of the medals.

Is there a possibility to se the badge and Leningrad medal too?

Actually, even though people always want to link serial numbers to award dates, there's no real relation between the two. What matters is the date the medals were issued. It's quite possible that, say, a medal that was awarded on paper in January 1944 and a medal that was awarded on paper in April 1945 were issued together shortly after the war, and then you would see sequential (or at least close) serial numbers. I have seen this numerous times. Whenever two medals with sequential serial numbers pop up in one place, they are usually a set.

I have an example of this I can share. A red star of mine s/n #67586 was “awarded” in 1942, but he only received it in 1945.

Thank You for posting them! A very nice group with a lot of of history.

That Leningrad medal seem like it has a story to tell. Does it have a dent in it?
Might be related to the reason the medals once got lost.. who knows

Best regards
