Art,

You are absolutely right ink stamps on award cards contain a lot of valuable information, like names of the units where the person served. Unfortunately every regiment and larger units, and some special designation units had their own stamps, so there is no way to research them all. Post-war stamps just had unit numbers, and are not that interesting.

Tal, Ouch! we are posting the same stuff.

Thanks you guys for the all the great images!

Alexei, I guess all that we could look for is a stamp which definitely doesn't belong on a document either because it never existed and is a fantasy stamp ( poor research on the part of the forger ) or it would have been historically unlikely for a particular stamp to appear on a document in question. I guess my next question is, how do we tell what stamps were in use for what period of time or is that impossible?

How about if I look for some good clear images and post them. Do you guys think you could ID them? I have a real weird one I've never seen before..

Art,

All we can do is use common sense. For instance a stamp belonging to a military unit #XXXX without any reference as to the branch would be very unusual for a WWII document; or a SmerSh stamp on a Virgin Lands document, etc.

I believe that many of you know that it is part of a huge group for sale (modest price of $24,500.....).

Could you tell my what is this doc?

Hmm. Interesting.

Well, I am bad when it comes to using the English terminology in reference to technical terms, but what I can tell you is that this is some form of ID pass that lets you in some area, probably with a higher level of security.

The word on the outside (Propusk), which is actually repeated once on the inside, means "Pass".

The ID was issued to Ivan Mikhailovich Afanin, and signed by the commander (Russian ~ Komendant).

I tried to read the words on the seal, and out of 4 words I can decipher 3: "????? Akademii Gen. Shtaba" which literally translates to:

"????? of the Academy of the General Headquarters". Genshtab is basically where the top of the top are. (the upper command)

Hope this helps at least a little.

The document is a standard pass for an instructor at the General Staff Academy of the Soviet MoD - it was called the Voroshilov Academy for much of its existance.

The Kommendantura's office was responsible for issuing passes.

It is not for any specific high security zone although the entire academy was a secure site.

I have seen many similar propuski/passes, but never one for the General Staff Academy - very nice!!
