I asked a researcher in Russia to assist, and I was surprised when he came back to me several weeks later and said that there was no record of it by serial number.
He is checking the KGB archives, but I'm not optimistic, of course.
Is there any explanation as to why a Red Banner could not be researched?
It could also be an award to a veteran of the October revolution. Those can't be researched generally.
