Here is a small group to Junior Sergeant Filipp Petrovich Bojchev, a veteran of both the Patriotic War and War against Japan.
The less frequently seen Medal "For Victory Over Japan" Variation 1.
His Medal "For Combat Merits" wasn't long service but a 1968 wounds award (That I will track down the citation of later).

His Medal "For Victory Over Japan" В#499982 was awarded on 26th July 1946 and the mistake on it was so bad that it had to be addressed on the rear by the head of staff of the 158th Separate Aviation-Technical Battalion.

His Jubilee Medal "XXX Years Of The Soviet Army And Navy" was awarded on 13th December 1948 by Izmail' Oblast Military Commissariat.
His Order Of The Patriotic War II is listed so there is a little insight.

I haven't seen this model of Red Army booklet. When were they produced?

Having this in my hands again, it doesn't give a date but must be 1947 or earlier. It lists the printer on the last page.
