Re: Victory.
I didn't say Meretskov won 2 yugoslavian orders. I said I put two there to fill in the empty order loops on the uniform. Actually one may have been a US Legion of merit converted to pin back. It's hard to say. At the time of victory parade, he did not have all the orders this uniform has spaces for. By the time the m45 was phased out, he had more awards (some chinese and korean) than would have fit on this tunic. Perhaps some museum somewhere used their imagination. The other, awarded in 1945 was the norwegian Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St. Olav. Here he is (with yugoslavian place fillers). High quality replica marshal stars, by the way, cost as much as nice quality order of victory replicas.

Re: Victory.
A nice one. That may be the classic example of where a fake is a worthy thing for the collection. However, even a quality fake isn't cheap. I shall just have to be content with holding Eisenhower's in my hands (nice to have an ex-student working at the museum!).

This is a very good one!! :thumbsup From memory, I believe the NJ one was not so nice... What would be the price of such a beauty (the copy presented by you, I mean... :D) ? Cheers. Ch. |

Re: Victory.
For me it is Monty's or nothing.
There is some bias for you but it is not a patriotic bias.

Serial numbers for Orders of Victory
Does anyone know who was issued what number of the order of Victory? I figured it should be easy to know as all recipients were very well known and there were only a handful ever made... Was this ever recorded in a book, I assume the various museums know, but has the data ever been published?

Re: Victory.
I found the citations for some of the Orders and you'll find them in the Researched Order section although I've not checked for more recently. Researched Orders - The Soviet Military Awards Page Forum
