Maternal Glory.

[Tal Inbar]

I find it very interesting: there are many variations of the order of maternal glory, but this is - in my view - the most interesting. the BABY is very thin in the first picture:

In the 2nd picture, the baby is more chubby, happier, and his mother looks happier also:

In the 3rd picture, the baby is a real fat, and his mother got bigger (perhaps to be able to carry him...). I wonder if some minister saw the poor looking baby and put the matter to the presidium of the supreme soviet.:confused:

Has anyone out there seen Order of Maternal Glory Medals AND military ODM (to the same woman)?

I saw one group for sale at MAX that COULD have possibly been a military associated grouping, but was unable to purchase it at that time. IIRC it had a Order of Maternal Glory 3C, Order of Badge of Honor and something else (I wanna say a Red STar but I cannot remember so don't quote me on that). There were also three campaigns...one was for Stalingrad, and I think, IIRC, one of the others was a Victory Over Germany. There were also some docus and some photos.

Hi, I recently bought a Wonderful Mother Heroine group. Award books for the two medals, all three for the orders and the big gramota for the Mother Heroine order, and of course all medals /orders issued to a Latvian woman.
Now I just wonder how scarce are theese groups ?

All the best from Swedish Autuum !

Christer,

Complete groups are hard to find, and a group with all 6 medals, documents and a box for the MH Star can cost up to $500.

Hi,

I saw several medals without MM, most were lower serial numbers. I saw no premium asked for them.

Sovvisor,

Sorry for being vague, I saw several medals(2nd and 3rd Class') on eBay with no premium asked. One seller from Former S.U. was selling all 5 medals (2w/o MM) for $50 a while back.

Hope I was more helpfull,

Rusty.

Gentlemen,

check out this side-by-side comparison of the Order of Maternal Glory 3rd class Type 1 Var. 1 and Type 2 Var. 3.

Although the 926 looks messed with, but I cannot understand what the original number was... 976?

Nice
