Soviet Russian USSR Medal Order of the Red Star NKVD Major UZBEKISTAN

Description: Soviet Russian USSR Order of the Red Star with serial number in the 1-1.5 million range, awarded in 1945 for 15 years of long service in the NKVD to a Major of the NKVD in Tashkent, Uzbekistan! A Service Record for the recipient is available in the Russian MoD archives, presenting an opportunity for further research! Digitized text-only excerpt from the Service Record suggest that the recipient was embedded in the Headquarters of the Central-Asian Military District and in the Uzbek People's Commissariat of Enlightenment. The research supporting the identification of the recipient by award serial number is a redacted excerpt of an archival document (apparently from a “closed” archive) that provides the following information:1) a list of award recipients, the names and serial numbers of the awards presented, and the serial numbers of the accompanying order/medal booklets2) the date of awarding3) the awarding authority – both the body that authorized the award and the government official empowered to physically present the awards To reiterate – the archival document is excerpted (i.e. snippets of pages from a multi-page file) and redacted (award serial numbers for other recipients have been blurred out). That is what I received with the awards, and that is what I am passing on (electronic format). Professional English translation available if requested before receipt of item. Condition is as seen in the images The serial number of the award is authentic and matches the serial number shown in the archival documents, obviously! If you require confirmation in advance, please send me a message, and I will gladly provide images. Over time, I have found that redacting award serial numbers in certain listings (particularly of researched awards) has acted a simple and effective filter to sort good customers from troublesome eBay hooligans. Reasonable, rational collectors who are genuinely interested in the history represented by an award will make the effort to reach out and will quickly find that everything is in order. No returns. All questions in advance. I will answer all coherent, respectful inquiries to the best of my ability. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AVAILABLE only through eBay’s Global Shipping Program (GSP).
