Cool Order For Motherland Service artifact
I bought this cool artifact a few months ago. It's some kind of home made award. I would guess it was given to the receipent of order # 21216. Its made from a turboprop engine compressor blade, possibly from a TU-95 bomber as that is what is depicted in the engraving. If any one can translate the inscription it would be greatly appreciated.

"From the delegates of the 10th Komsomol conference" ... and the numbers at the bottom which I could not read, I really need to buy some glasses, sorry ... Sergei (PS The 10th Komsomol conference should have been a giveaway but I have no idea what they are talking about - in closed research institutes as in aerospace that could have their own count of those conferences)

Dating can be hard. It is not from one of the research institutions (I used to work for one of those), they would never put a Motherland Order on their presentation, So, it's got to be from a combat unit. What confuses me is a mix of long-range aviation (that horizontal thingy with a big blob on it's nose) with what what seems to be a fighter-plane unit (the object flying up in the sky). One way of dating would be from studying the images of the airplanes, but that could be tricky. So, it's definitely after 1974, but my guess it would be more like early 90's. If you feel like it, you could email me amplified images of the planes and I would try to find something similar on the web. Sergei.

How silly of me! The bottom line reads V/Ch 21216, which stands for 'Voinskaya Chast 21216' or 'Military Unit 21216' (ask the experts for a better translation). It is an aviation regiment, after all. Sergei

Here is a close up of the airplanes. Definately a TU-95 or one of its cousins.
