Wound Stripe Questions
Hi all, I'm new to this forum and not a collector, but trying to put a display case together for a family member. I have some questions regarding Wound Stripes.
The attached photo shows my wife's grandfather (Sgt on the left) sometime in 1944 wearing what I believe is a wound stripe. He lost all his war time awards/medals after being wounded again, and I'm trying to replace them. 1. He gave me all 4 of his "Spravka O Raneni" wound card certificates. Would he have been eligible to wear 4 wound stripe patches? 2. I've searched various online sites and couldn't locate any wound strips that matched the one in the photo. Were there many different variations/patterns/sizes of each worn? 3. Any thoughts where to obtain original or reproduction wound stripes? Thank you for any help! Chris |

Wound Stripes
I just added to sets of wound stripes to my collection. I have seen these in the 1989 USSR Uniform manual, but never in person. They are much smaller than I thought (image with ruler for those interested). I lost out on the auction for two other sets on olive green/khaki fabric (auction pictures included) but hopefully down the road I can find some. Any uniform collectors ever see these sewn on a uniform?

Re: Wound Stripes
I think the left are Navy stripes.

Re: Wound Stripes
Nice stuff, thanks for showing them off.
I always wanted to find a GPW-era stripe to add to my display. How late (1970s, 80s?) were these awarded/issued and worn? I see so few of them in later era photos and only then usually on the uniform of a GPW vet.

Re: Wound Stripes
Where do the Wound Stripes go when there are Orders on the uniform? Above? Below? :confused:

Re: Wound Stripes
Are you certain these are wound stripes? Similar bars were worn by cadets reflecting their year of study on the sleeves.

Re: Wound Stripes
The uniform guys can say for sure but I think I usually see them above everything on the right chest.
