$3,700.00 |
Nakhimov Medal, Var. 1 (with engraved serial number),
#1237, with a document, awarded in January 1945 to a
Naval Infantry Reconnaissance Scout. Serving as a
radio operator with a forward assault group, he showed
outstanding bravery in amphibious landings on German-held
islands in the Baltics, and in particular during the
storming of the Ruhnu Island in the Gulf of Riga. While
disembarking from the ship onto a row boat, his boat
capsized in strong gale in a subzero temperature.
Incredibly, he would not let go of his radio station and
ammunition while clinging to the overturned boat in raging
sea until he was rescued by the other marines. After
reaching the bank, instead of changing his ice-covered
clothes or trying to dry up, he immediately deployed the
radio station and established radio link with the ships
supporting the operation off shore. During the war, this
heroic sailor of Soviet Naval Spetsnaz earned two other
decorations for similar kind of seaborne assaults, as well
as Badge of Excellent Radio Operator. His award
commendations (copies of which are included) are among the
best we have seen for a naval infantryman. The medal is in
very fine to excellent condition.

$1,900.00 |
Nakhimov Medal, Var. 2, #9685, awarded in April 1945 to a
Guards Sailor of the Black Sea Fleet, engine mechanic of the
Cruiser Krasnyi Kavkaz, the first Soviet warship to receive
the honorific title of a Guards Ship. He took part in all
the operations of this heroic ship starting from the earliest:
defense of Odessa and Sevastopol where the cruiser played
pivotal role and the December 1941 amphibious landing at
Feodosia, Crimea. On several occasions he showed bravery when
selflessly working on fire team or patching holes after the
ship was struck by enemy shells. The medal is in excellent
condition, an unusually nice example. Comes with a copy of the
award recommendation.

prevented a number of defections in the military unit he
watched and uncovered a number of "vile spies of fascism"
among the civilian population. He also showed personal bravery
in an infantry assault near Oryol when leading the troops by
example. The medal is in very fine condition and includes
complete original Type 1 suspension. Comes with archival
research. This is a highly unusual early award for a SMERSH
officer!
