Soviet Russian Medal Order of Glory 3rd Class Researched LAST DAY OF WWII

Description: Soviet Russian USSR WWII medal Order of Glory 3rd Class with serial number in the 400-thousand range, awarded for bravery in combat on May 7, 1945 – some of the final hours of WWII – to private Nikolai Gusev, a rifleman in the 126th Rifle Division. The citation reads as follows: “Comrade Gusev, in battle for the settlement of Hertzberg on 07.05.1945, acting as part of his squad, destroyed 8 Germans with fire from his sub-machine gun and took 5 prisoner.” Very scarce award for the last 1-2 days of the war in Europe! Condition is great, 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. Winner will be provided with archival research (10 pages - including Award Record Card) in electronic format, unredacted, in color. Professional English translation of the Record Card and Citation is available if requested before receipt of item. 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). With this program: once the item is delivered to the address to which eBay directs me to ship, all responsibility for final safe delivery of the item to the buyer becomes eBay’s. I am categorically not responsible for any problems that arise once the item is in eBay’s possession. Note: combined shipping is not available through the GSP. If you wish to combine shipping, you must contact me in advance to make arrangements. Buyers from any country in the exclusion list must always contact me in advance of purchase. I will not accept purchases from buyers with shipping addresses in these countries without advance notice. If you contact me, as I am requesting of you, you will likely find your purchase approved. Shipping will then be through the GSP. Please see my other listings. Lots of excellent Soviet medals! Many additional high quality pieces available that are not yet listed. Please inquire. Thank you!
