MONDVOR Wrote:Roy, I have a question. How do you know about the numbers of Smotrov's Military Merit and Red Star? I'm asking because the numbers do not correspond with the datas of issue. Military Merit number is normal for 1943 award, but for 1947 it's very low. Same holds true for Red Star. This number is close to 1948-49, but in 1958 Red Star numbers were around 3.500.000.
I've posted the information of the serial numbers based on what was mentioned on the service records. Would it possible that the authorities were just somewhat late in recording the data?
