Even before the NVKD the GRU led the way into China in the 20's. I was of course referring to classification as an "Armed Force" rather than actually holding a weapon.
The "30 Years Of Armed Forces" in the collection marked MVD are to either "Troops" of one sort or another or issued by MVD "Lagers" without mentioning the designation of the forces there (possibly some other variations but I don't have all resources on hand). They will all be posted with time.
The shuffling of People's Commissariats into Ministries, the transition from war to peace (including demobilisation) and the fact that someone had to be in service to be awarded the "30 Years" makes for some interesting and often confusing awards.
It's a shame there isn't currently a scan of Sheffer's to shine a little light onto him.
