Description

Your attention :Detailed specialized literature for "professionals".Atypical awards. Documents of the wartime / Author: Boyko VD, Publisher: Mart, Serie: State awards of the USSR, Pages: 260, Hardcover, ISBN: 978-966-96567-9-7.This work is devoted to a special group of awards: duplicates of orders, re-issued (replaced) orders, orders of additional awards and signs of reuse. Due to the peculiarities of their origin, they cannot be considered as ordinary varieties of known types and variants (with the exception of orders of additional awards). The specific features of these orders determine their special status. Currently, such awards are little studied and in most publications they are given as exotic, in the form of a list of specimens known to the authors. The current situation is associated with the rarity of these signs and the scarcity and inconsistency of information about their origin.
