Proof at the Voyentorg?

[ph3s]

My question concerns Soviet awards, the veteran when he either added to his collection or was simply making a new ribbon bar would order his ribbons from the Voyentorg, would he have to present his award book to show he was eligible?

Don't think in USSR were such kind restrictions for ribbon bars and ribbons. But any official could rise an issues if noticed something strange in awards bar. Then the person would face a lot of trouble.
