Guys,

I just wanted to share with you my two latest finds: the rare versions of this document, awarded by the Murmansk City Council, and by the Murmansk Oblast Council (that last one has undergone an obvious "slimming" program, but it is simply so rare that the condition is almost irrelevant).

I wasn't aware Murmansk issued documents, but makes sense since Caucasus, Odessa, Sevastopol, et al did. I guess I'll have to look more carefully from now on. Nice rarities.

Sorry for a stupid question, but is Murmansk written on the stamp? I'm asking this because I can't figure out where Murmansk is written.

Soviet,
It is written in the title of the signatory.

Paul,
These are also illustrated on the Mondvor site. These are the first ones I have ever seen (beside those on photos). Good luck in your search!

By the way, here is the "usual" document, as well as an enlargement of the signature area.

Hi,

I`ve bought this one recently. The angles of the 5 - sided suspension look quite strange !? On my other award cards of campaign - medals they are shown the correct way; is it a fake, or fact ?

Thank you (again),

Jens,

Your document is fine.
