 Can someone help me find these medals in Scott, please? It's probably catalogue blindness but I simply can't even find the design let alone the stamps. Thanks in advance.

Nice stamps Tony!
Tricky ones, going by design (and stanley gibbons)
1941 22nd anniv of red army SG957 marshal's star
Both the same stamp one has weathered?

Hi Rod. Thanks for the info. You know, the more I look at the first one the more I believe that it's the paper that has somehow been toned and not the stamp design itself. But I may be wrong.

Yes, the CTO aside, if I were given the choice, I would take the rhs stamp. the ink seems to have run on the lhs, maybe a reprint?

Wow; even with the help of Rod's description and SG reference I was unable to find it in Scott's. |

Look at 1941 the top "star and NOYTA" (as I call it ) is consistant throughout the set, and should be a guide from the sample image in scott. ...or perhaps Scott has placed it with another set?

That's Scott 831. And according to Scott, it's the 23rd anniversary, not the 22nd ...

According to wiki Scott is correct
The Red Army (Russian: Ðàáî÷å-Êðåñòüÿíñêàÿ Êðàñíàÿ Àðìèÿ, Raboche-Krest'yanskaya Krasnaya Armiya; RKKA (Workers'–Peasants' Red Army) was the Soviet government's revolutionary militia beginning in the Russian Civil War of 1918-1922. It grew into the national army of the USSR. Since 1946, after the Second World War, it was called the Soviet Army. |

I'm sorry guys, I gotta believe ya' but "Scott" couldn't make it more confusing. And to make things worse there is not even the slightest apparent resemblance between the stamp and the related 'type'. |

 @cgrotha. Here are a few more images from the same issue. Notice the STAR and the POSTA on all. [As my friend Rod mentioned] Hope it makes it easier to find. In my Scott 2005, it's in the third column of page 534. |
