Great bunch of Soviet Decorations, but are they a real group?

[TimoJ]

I have the opportunity to pick up a Soviet medal bar.

I need to find out if the following are all to the same person;

Order of Lenin 207525

Order of Red Banner 491142

Red Banner of Labor 219346, 982824

Badge of Honor 117248

Medal of Valor 2618294, 1715081

Order of Great Patriotic War 6715251

Order of Red Star 506193

How is the best way to find out if these are really to the same guy?


Thanks,

Timo

Some pics of the grouping;

The jacket has sewn holes for all of the decorations.

The Gold star is BAD.

the insignia is inexplicable.

Their is a decoration book for Timarenko, Nikolai Grigorievich, but I am not sure if ti relates to he grouping.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have research done...

You can have the serial numbers researched. I have used this gentleman several times. http://http://www.aukedevlieger.nl/service2.htm

You can also poke around http://http://soviet-awards.com/forum/

The group has been partially remounted at some point, and not very well judging by the BoH ribbon. What's with the silver colored VoG? Order of precedence is off but that's not unusual. Your list and the photos don't match.
You can search http://podvignaroda.ru/ with the troopers name in Cyrillic and match numbers. That would be the quickest way to confirm things.
Let's have a look at the Orders booklet.

I´d pass.

The uniform insignia is clearly a mix-up (Police emblems on Border Guard tabs, Senior Officer stars on winter overcoat shoulder boards). And it is not clear why it has a Czech partisan badge and a Polish POW cross. And last but not least, I have never seen both MVD qualification badges and Combined arms specialist badge together. IMHO, the man would have at least one or two more foreign commemorative awards from these other countries, and the other Soviet commemorative medals.

Unless your hero was in an aviation unit, the campaign medals present range from Koenigsberg (now Kaliningrad) in the north to Vienna. A possible, though not very probable combination. Looks like a bunch of crap pinned to a jacket.
