Kosinsky set (rschd, sequentially #'d BM's)

[desantnik]

Set consists of two, sequentially serial-numbered (3.393.225 and 3.393.226) Bravery Medals in excellent condition. Furthermore, both are the inverted U-suspension pieces. Many Russian collectors incorrectly believe these "tongue" pieces were solely awarded for the Japanese conflict and here's proof they weren't.

Booklet also in excellent condition and confirms research that these two pieces were only serial numbered pieces received.

Abridged research for latter-serial numbered piece indicates Corporal Kosinsky delivered his field gun to its firing position in DEC and JAN 45 whil under enemy artillery and mortar barrages, thus supporting the infantry's actions. Both awards authorized within a 3-week period late JAN-early FEB 45. Research marked "SECRET". Both pieces listed in Echoes of War.

Unit research on Kosinsky's 129 Guards Rifle Division (incidentally the highest #'d Guards Rifle Division) also included.

$230 excluding postage.
