Up for sale is an eight medal bar from a Soviet World War II veteran. The veteran had also been awarded the order of the Redstar, but this is missing from the group. The best part of this group is the defense of Moscow medal with the original award document. Another fascinating thing with this grouping is that the veteran has both the military and the war effort version of the Jubilee medal. This is because he was wounded by a landmine and went to work in a factory after he had recovered. The recipient was wounded while recovering captured German vehicles at the village of Vertyachii (on the Don river) after the Stalingrad counteroffensive. He was ordered to evacuate all of the trophy vehicles from a heavily mined area speedily and without losses, which he accomplished completely but for the exception of his own wound. Fantastic grouping, and you will get everything that is pictured.
