Munroe,
I didn't know. I just figure out it was Dragunsky.
If you got this group, it means cavaler is jewish. How many among them were twise HSU? Firts name crossed my mind was Dragunsky. Then I've cheked HSU book for Dragunsky's awards.
The whole process took about 2 minutes.

Wow, Eugene your powers of deduction are impressive. Say Hello to Munroe in sunny S.A. for me

mcwirsk · 08-11-2002, 12:34 PM

Yes,

Well done Eugene, but we still have to work out all the awards. Believe me there are a few that I don't know what they are.

I also have some award booklets for KGB stuff where I do not have the awards.

I will post any close up pictures that anyone requests. Also teh award book if I have it.

regards from a warm SA

Hey guys

Help me identify all the foreign awards.

Doesn't anyone want a steak dinner in SA with all the beer (whoops I should say Vodka) that you can drink.

Jokes aside.. I could appreciate some help on some of the awards.

There are 4 that I have no idea what they are.

regards from a warm and sunny place

I have tried and think I'm right about a few.

But I need some more scans of a few of them...see my earlier posting. The second box: the last two in the first row, then the first and last two in the second row. In the fourth box I need larger scans of the three medals on the last row. (I guess they are russian).

BTW, I would love a steak dinner in RSA - as I would love a steak dinner everywhere in the world.

Guys

I am traveling for a few days. As soon as I return I will post some scans of the medals to help identify.

regards

Munroe
