Yes, that's what I was talking about. And I doubt that Willie would have received enough of these to cover himself in ribbons up to his ankles :laff

Wound Stripes - Christopher - 11-01-2008
Hi all, I'm new to this forum and not a collector, but trying to put a display case together for a family member. I have some questions regarding Wound Stripes.
The attached photo shows my wife's grandfather (Sgt on the left) sometime in 1944 wearing what I believe is a wound stripe. He lost all his war time awards/medals after being wounded again, and I'm trying to replace them.
1. He gave me all 4 of his "Spravka O Raneni" wound card certificates. Would he have been eligible to wear 4 wound stripe patches?
2. I've searched various online sites and couldn't locate any wound strips that matched the one in the photo. Were there many different variations/patterns/sizes of each worn?
3. Any thoughts where to obtain original or reproduction wound stripes?
Thank you for any help! Chris

I just added to sets of wound stripes to my collection. I have seen these in the 1989 USSR Uniform manual, but never in person. They are much smaller than I thought (image with ruler for those interested). I lost out on the auction for two other sets on olive green/khaki fabric (auction pictures included) but hopefully down the road I can find some. Any uniform collectors ever see these sewn on a uniform?

I think the left are Navy stripes.
The early and late wartime wound stripes

Nice stuff, thanks for showing them off.
I always wanted to find a GPW-era stripe to add to my display.
How late (1970s, 80s?) were these awarded/issued and worn? I see so few of them in later era photos and only then usually on the uniform of a GPW vet.

Where do the Wound Stripes go when there are Orders on the uniform? Above? Below? :confused:

Are you certain these are wound stripes? Similar bars were worn by cadets reflecting their year of study on the sleeves.

Sometimes fighters used frontmade stripes, could be even metal made.
