For Bravery,0170734,Mortar Commander,229th Rifle Brigade
Greetings to All,
Last week I got to spend a day in Sarajevo. I com here on an off, but rarely get to spend any time on the ground. Here is a unique Bravery Medal that I purchased. Looks like the previous owner converted to a different ribbon. The soldering of the new attachment is very nicely executed. v/r Dat Nguyen |

Off the top of my head that s/n should be about late '42-early '43. Strange.
