Large Greetings Folders.

[Tal Inbar]

I realy like those documents!
Just remember that there was NO computer printers, and each doc was individually Printed. And the hard bounds are great looking .

Those are offered for sale, and belonged to Marshal of the Soviet Union Matvey Zakharov, Soviet Chief of Staff and First Deputy Defense Minister.

Greeting from the Main Political Department of the Soviet Army and Navy. Hand-signed by General of the Army Aleksey Epishev and two other commanding generals.

Greeting from Shchelokov, Minister of Protecting the Public Order (1960s name for the Ministry of Interior). The letter is executed in beautiful calligraphy and hand-signed by Shchelokov.
