Medal "For The Liberation Of Korea".
Here's a strange piece I picked up with a nice naval career group of medals. Front of booklet is typical "UDOSTEVERENIE K MEDALI" then we get "ZA OSVOBOSHDENIE KOREI"
It has a number written "00730", which must be a document number as the medal is not serialized, only stamped on reverse with a few korean or chinese characters and the date "1945. 8.15" Inside booklet is a date of October 15, 1948, also stamp is unit "90251", which is also written above signature in a blank for "KOMANDIR V Y". This same number unit stamp appears in several of the documents I have with this group. I'm curious as to what the red text says if anyone would like to translate it.

Very interesting. Perhaps it was a local unit issue thing? Here's the document that I have with one of my Korea groups. It's dated 1949, and it's definately 'local' unit issue. --Dave |

I believe that was his actual certificate. I've got all of his other documents, and nothing else for the Korean medal. Also, given the fact that he kept this document folded up in his order book, would lend me to believe it was the only document he got. --Dave |

Unknown medal document
Which medal is this for? The doc is included with a WWII naval group for a 2nd rank captain.

It looks like document for medal "Liberation of Korea". The medal is Korean but awardee is Russian that's why the document in Russian language.

What does that medal look like? I have not heard of it? The "owner" of the group died in the 1960-ties I think.

Art: The Liberation of Korea Medal is established in recognition of the Korean people's eternal gratitude to the the Great Soviet Army for their liberating Korea from the Japanese Imperialists. |

Medal "For The Liberation Of Korea".
I just purchased an interesting document (I think :D, I did not see it before).
Is this correct medal for the document? Eric |

Document goes to medal.
Does anyone have an idea what the Liberation of Korea document is worth? I've been offered one awarded to a Soviet soldier. |
