Fantastic piece of investigation Rusty!
I appreciate your information alot. Now I shall see if I can get some of those other medals. I notice that the Russians still to this day hold their Veterans in very high regard and still honor them. And the Veterans Associations are still rather large and active.

Here is my 60 Years of Victory Vet Medal with box that I just received.
Mine is #112 (althought not clearly visible on the pic of the reverse).
Also got the Docs but as they have previously been posted on this thread... Anyway, even the Docs are very nice, quite nicer than the usual Umalatova Docs!
And here is the 60 Years Jubilee Medal for Victory Over Germany. Again it has 2 different blank documents. Unnumbered. All of these are minted at the Moscow Mint.
