VERY GOOD CONDITION ORIGINAL SOVIET UNION ORDER OF THE PATRIOTIC WAR, 2ND CLASS (IN SILVER) TYPE II FROM WW2. EXCELLENT CONDITION TO FACE ENAMEL AND SILVER WASH TO CENTRAL AND OUTER FEATURES. A LOVELY PIECE INDEED, INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED 499815. SCREWBACK DISC TO REVERSE. A VERY HONOURED AWARD FOR COMBAT VALOR AND GALLANTRY. MANUFACTURE STAMPED - MOSCOW MINT. BADGE MEASURES 46MM IN DIAMETER. NO CHIPS TO RED ENAMEL WITH GOOD WHITE ENAMEL.

THE ISSUE AWARD DATES FROM EARLY 1943, FROM A PERIOD WITH THE RED ARMY SEEING SOME OF THE HEAVIEST FIGHTING DURING THE WHOLE OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR - INCLUDING THE BATTLE OF STALINGRAD.

THE AWARD FEATURES A SOLID GOLD HAMMER & SICKLE TO CENTRE OF 14 KARAT GOLD, WITH THE GOLD APPARENTLY BEING MINED BY GULAG PRISONERS IN ARMENIA DURING WW2. THE BASE IS OF SOLID SILVER. THE GOLD ALONE MUST BE WORTH THE INVESTMENT WITH THE HIGH GOLD PRICES TODAY!

 

History: These badges were issued as a result of the need for an award for soldiers and officer's who displayed acts of gallantry in the face of the invading German enemy during the great Patriotic War (WW2). These were often seen worn on the chest of Soviet Heroe's during the Second World War, especially during the fierce and savage battles of Leningrad and Stailingrad.

The Order of the Patriotic War was instituted as an official award on the 20th May 1942 and was awarded to all soldiers in the Soviet armed forces, security troops, and to partisans for heroic deeds during the Great Patriotic War. In 1985 during the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War, it was decided that all surviving veterans of the war would be awarded either 2nd or 1st class of the Order.

I will always give my best effort to you as a customer and welcome honest feedback. Please remember, that I have a full time job outside of this one and when my family needs me, you might have to wait a small amount of time to get a response. If you want to ask for advice or need an opinion, that is and will always be free, no matter what the subject. I'm here to have fun and expand both of our collections and both of our experiences. The best customers are the ones who come back, why not become one yourself?

Trust me, it's in both of our interests to work out the differences before we put on the boxing gloves. I have a pretty good feedback record, so if in doubt, just ask.
