Medal Identification
Posted by John Edgar on May 25, 2016, 4:28 pm
More than 31 years after his death the family of Armed Guard John M. Edgar discovered a box with some of his memorabilia. Among those items is what appears to be a Russian medal. The medal consists of a bronze button with a rotating airplane. From the button are two 1 1/2 inch chains attached ti a medallion. The medallion is about the size of a quarter. In the center is a red 5 pointed star with Russian writing. To the left of the top point is a small white area containing the image of an airplane. Under the star is what appears to be the image of a gas mask. Without being able to attach a picture, that is the best description that I can offer. Can you identify the medal? Many thanks.
