Any more information about the soldier and how he took it? Found it on a dead body? Killed the guy and took it as spoils of war?

Unfortunately traces ends to this. My friends father got it from a veteran of war in early 70's but He didn't do any notes!

I have had this group, which also include a Nevsky and some other orders and medals for some years, but I wanted to share with you that special Red Banner which has hand-engraved "Mon Dvor" mintmark. This is pretty rare variation.

Here is a pic of the medal bar (this is the middle Red Banner)
