Thanks a lot! Much appreciated! I knew the award was for Stalingrad. It was for sale on Matt's webpage with research done by Igor. I just continued my own research since that is what I love to do, digging deeper into these small pieces of history and trying to find the locations on modern maps. Of course a Stalingrad piece is always a bit more 'special' though I have to say I like digging into history with every award, no matter if it is a Stalingrad award or any other common award. Unfortunately I just can't dig deep enough as I wish due to my lack of writing/reading Russian. But even with that disability I sometimes can get quite far
Very beautiful...
Excellent research with fantastic results! Thanks for a very enjoyable thread.

Wonderful research. Thanks for sharing
Nice pick Marcel!
I was considering this one too... But I am glad it ended up in a good carrying home!
BTW, his officer service record does not have a photo attached. So, you can save the bucks unless you want the record itself.
Thanks Igor. I still consider getting his service record. Of course a photo adds a lot but even without a photo it is all interesting information.
My problem now is, I have too many awards I wanna get researched so it now comes down to chosing which awards come first in this
That's a fantastic piece. Congratulations.
