Auke,

This is a fantastic story, hope you can track the others.

Sellers who intentionally break up groups make me :mad:

I don't think the seller knew they were awarded to the same man. He had a whole bunch of awards, without any accompanying paperwork, so he probably bought and sold all the awards as 'singles'. Remarkably, and fortunately, these three orders were still together after all those years. The two Red Banners and a Red Star must have been split from the group somewhere along the way.

And now the search for the other awards begins - this time without any leads...
