The 15 years irreproachable service medal has the ribbon for the 10 year medal. See pictures below.

Stahanov,

I don't like the entries. Why would the ink have faded everywhere except on the serial numbers?

Andreas,

Could you please also post the name page of the Order Booklet.

I don't like the fact that the inks and handwriting are different for the awards above, then the dates below - not a deal killer, but wierd.

Then, when I checked the numbers on my data base, the decorations were from different fronts - 1 Ukrainian (or 2 Baltic since the # is on an award bloc "seam"), 1 Belorussian, and 2 Belorussian. Three of the awards were awarded by the 2 Belorussian, so some of these could, actually belong to one person. As I've said before, this wide array of fronts is a possibility, but not a high probability of being awarded to one person.

Finally, according to the booklet the recipient was earning awards in some capacity (soldier/officer?) as early as '43, then 15 years later in '58 he is still a captain. Not impossibile, but an awfully long time to only make it as high as captain.

Thanks you very much for your answers.

I try to get a picture of the first page with the name of the soldier.

best regards
Andreas

Here is a picture of the first page of the award book with the name.
