Soviet Russian WWII Medal Order of the Red Star KURSK 1943 "screwpost base"

Description: Soviet Russian USSR medal Order of the Red Star with serial number in the 200-250k range range, awarded in 1943 to Guards Captain of the Medical Service Pyotr Penkov, commander of the medical company for a regiment of the 8th Rifle Division. Penkov was awarded the present Red Star for the Battle Kursk! Over the duration of the battle, Penkov organized medical care at the regimental level, including handling 470 wounded on July 15-16 alone. The 8th Rifle Division was situated on the northern pincer of Operation Citadel, between Ponyri and Malo-Arkhangelsk. Penkov had previously been awarded a Bravery Medal for actions in January 1943, and in 1945, he was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class as medical officer for an airborne division. Condition is near excellent, 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 (13 pages - 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.
