Order Booklets

[Wagner]

Hello.
Then, the date of the documents, as example this book, mean the date of the first medal that the soldier received?

I should think that the booklet would have been issued in 1947 when it was attested to (signed). I'm not sure since I've only just started looking at how these were issued, but it makes sense to me.

Do you have the Red Star 20.273 mentioned in the book?

[Wagner]

ok, thanks for your answers.
Alfred, no, this book, i haven´t got, it was only an example, because i didn´t understand them.
Thanks for all.:thumbsup

Does anyone know what this word added before the booklet text means? Аs I understand it, it's "зам" and denotes that A. Gorkin, whose facsimile signature appears on the document, was deputy secretary of the Presidium. Is this correct? Is this sort of marking common? Or does it only appear on certain types of documents?

I realize this is a rather obscure question. Thanks in advance for any help, though! :thumbsup

Notice how in one doc it is added by hand and in the other it is actually stamped!

Alex,

"зам" is short for "заместитель", which means "deputy".

Here's a booklet for Order of Lenin #87,233 awarded to Ivan Vasilievich Ozeretskovsky in 1949. The stamp is the Supreme Soviet's, and the picture has a lot of character. The question is, are the stamp and pic legitimate? Thoughts much appreciated.

Either way, I haven't been able to dig up anything on the recipient, unfortunately.

RedMaestro,

I think so. It seems to be a Kremlin awarding, which would be fitting.

Neat! Thanks, Marc! :thumbsup

Aside from the Supreme Soviet stamp, what else, if anything, indicates a Kremlin awarding? What's the scoop on those anyway? And what does it mean for the value of the document? (just to get a sense of whether I made the right call)

Cheers,
Alex

Alex,

For the value, nothing.

For the rest, it means that this specific recipient was selected to be handed out his award by some top honcho at an official reception at the Kremlin, instead of being given it somewhere in the provinces.
