Alexei,

Unfortunately no, I do not have any scans of it. It was shown to me by some fellow collector in StP a good couple of years ago. That's the only one that ever crossed my path.

This Victory over Germany document to a Bulgarian soldier came in today. Awarded to 37th Army, signed by Tolbuchin.

best regards
Andreas

Interesting! Isn't the serial number usually on page two? Maybe it got flipped over at the print shop? And I've never seen a giant asterix like that before.

Eric,

The document is OK. There are many variation of the VoG booklet and all of them have the SN on the back cover.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!
I just noticed both my VoG books are that way as well. But all my other booklets of similar timeframe, including a VoJ, have the number on page two. Strange, these Soviets... :)

Well, what the heck, right? Might as well add my two since the thread's been started.
This first one is dated '58 I believe so that would make it a "catch-up" (or ketchup?) award. :) How late in the last century have we noticed these things dated??

EricFG · 03-17-2010, 05:38 PM

And the second.

The signatures on any of the award documents always fascinate me (especially on the second doc).:thumbsup Thankfully, I learned what the little line after the "signature" means.

All the way into this century, with a Russian stamp on it.

You're kidding?!?!?!?!? :) You mean more than 50 years after the fact they are still finding people who qualify for this award? Wow! That's pretty cool.
