Award Document for a Victory over Germany Medal, early type with red leatherette cover, #00071160, issued on 23 June 1945 to Senior Technical Lieutenant Mikhail Terpugov (Терпугов Михаил Николаевич).
The document is of noticeably better quality than much more common paper certificates. There is a typographically printed individual serial number on the back cover. The document is hand-signed by Lieutenant General Mikhail Belikov, Chief of the Main Communication Center of the Narkomat (People's Commissariat) of Defense, and shows an ink stamp of the center.
The document is in excellent condition. The cover is nearly pristine, showing almost none of the usual wear to the edges and spine. The interior pages are immaculately clean and have only mild age toning. The text is fully legible.
Victory over Germany certificates with red cover were issued primarily to VIPs, staff officers of the Moscow Military District, and, reportedly, participants of the 1945 Victory Parade in Moscow. Note that the document was issued literally just one day before the parade that took place on June 24th.
