Order of the Red Banner, Type 2, Var. 3, Sub-var. 1, #46539,
awarded to a reconnaissance scout platoon commander for
ambushing a Finnish recon detachment in no man's land in
Karelia in April 1944. He personally killed 3 enemy scouts in
the skirmish that resulted in total annihilation of the enemy
group. The award is a very interesting late issue screw back
that was customized to wear on suspension without completely
removing the screw post. The obverse is in fine condition,
free of enamel repairs. Comes with comprehensive archival
research.

Order of the Red Banner, Type 2, Var. 3, Sub-var. 2, #68282,
awarded in December 1942 to a company commander of a mountain
rifle regiment for heroic actions during the defense of a key
naval base of Tuapse on the Black Sea. He led infantry
assaults on two fortified heights, personally killed 15
German soldiers, with his company destroyed 4 earth-and-
timber pillboxes, and captured 8 submachine guns and 2 light
machine guns. The Order of the Red Banner was his first combat
decoration of the Patriotic War, but he later earned four more
while serving as assistant chief of staff for reconnaissance
of his regiment, rifle battalion commander, and deputy
commander of a rifle regiment (not counting post-war awards
for length of service.) The order is in very fine to excellent
condition, a beautiful piece never converted to suspension and
with enamel completely free of penetrating chips or repairs
- an extremely uncommon case for the screw back type.
Comes with archival research.

Order of the Red Banner, Type 4 Var. 1, #88397, awarded in
September 1943 to a Major General, Chief of the Supply
Train Service of the Main Engineering Agency of the Red Army.
A very interesting recipient: he took part in the First
Russian Revolution of 1905, joined the Bolshevik Party in
1905, and played an active and important role in the Russian
Civil War. Unlike many other Soviet military and political
leaders, he not only survived the Great Purge, but was
decorated with an Order of Lenin in 1939. The Order of the Red
Banner was bestowed on him for his contribution to supplying
the Red Army troops by wagon trains and for setting up new
production centers for that purpose after their evacuation
into the Soviet interior in the early part of the Patriotic
War. The award is in superb condition - literally cannot be
upgraded. Comes with archival research.

impossible to upgrade for condition.

Order of the Red Banner, 2nd award, Type 2, Var. 2 (screw back with Monetnyi Dvor mint mark), #1370, awarded in November 1942 to a Sergeant Major, a rear gunner / radio operator of a Pe-2 dive bomber of the Kalinin Front. By September 1942, he had completed a total of 151 combat missions, most of them for aerial reconnaissance. On one of his early missions of the war he shot down a German fighter with assistance of two other gunners of his bomber group. The fact that he was decorated with a Second Order of the Red Banner is an exceptionally rare case: almost all recipients of consecutive Red Banner awards were commissioned officers, not NCOs. The decoration itself is a beautiful early piece with some highly uncommon features. Comes with archival research.

500 specimens were ever produced. Excellent example.

Order of the Red Banner 4th Award, Type 5, Var. 1, #2058,
awarded in 1952 to an Air Force Major General, a Hero of the
Soviet Union who had earned a Hero Star in the 1939-40
Winter War against Finland. In 1937-38 he flew 113
combat missions on a TB bomber in the Spanish Civil War. In
the early part of the Patriotic War he commanded a bomber
regiment and took part in nearly all the major defensive
battles including Leningrad, Polar Region, Moscow, Caucasus,
and Stalingrad. He continued to fly combat sorties
throughout the war to train and lead other pilots, and by
the V-Day had added 73 combat missions to his already
impressive pre-war tally. After the war, he continued to
serve in the Air Force, graduated from the General Staff
Academy and in 1953, took part in the purge of the Air Force
of the Moscow District following the arrest of its commander
Vasiliy Stalin (son of late Joseph Stalin.) Eventually he
rose to an Air Corps commander and retired only in 1973
having the rank of Lieutenant General.
The order is in excellent condition. Comes with archival
research and copy of the article about the article about the
recipient in the catalog "Heroes of the Soviet Union". A
scarce fourth consecutive Red Banner award to an extremely
interesting individual!
