RUSSIA. Group of Soviet Orders Awarded to Colonel Georgiy Gregorevich Joganov, ND (ca. 1947).
8 pieces in lot. This intriguing lot includes: The Star of the Order of Suvarov, Third Class (Vernon-350; Werlich-1288) numbered 224 with ribbon. The Order of the Patriotic War, Second Class (Vernon-364; Werlich-1294). The Star of The Order of the Red Star (Vernon-368; Werlich-1295). The Order of the Red Banner (Vernon-374; Werlich-1281). The Medal For Valor (Vernon-394; Werlich-1310). The Medal for Meritorious Service in Battle (Vernon-397; Werlich-1311). The Defense of Moscow Campaign Medal (Vernon-413). The Medal for Victory Over Germany in the Great Patriotic War (Vernon-419). The final five medals are mounted as a group on a pinback bar. Also included, the Orders Book for all the numbered medals (five) which includes a photograph of Colonel Joganov wearing these medals. All the numbers in the Orders Book match the numbers on the medals. Of note is the especially low number of the Order of Suvorov, 224. (Another example numbered 2982 recently sold for $6,105 after thirty bids on eBay). Somewhere along the line the Orders Book suffered some minor water damage resulting in rust stains from the staples and a bit of paper loss where the photo was once stuck to the following page, but still very presentable. The medals boast fine, complete enamels, except for some minor damage to the tips of two points of the star on the Order of the Red Star. An extraordinary opportunity to acquire the exalted decorations or a true war hero in their entirety. SOLD AS IS/NO RETURNS. VERY FINE.
Estimate: $7000.00- $9000.00
