Silver gilt, enamels; measures 44.2 mm in height (incl. eyelet), 36.3 mm in width; weighs 24.5 g not including the suspension and connecting link. Features smooth reverse with circular depression in the middle. The mint mark is in relatively large font, with a straight dash over the last character in the word "Monetnyi" (Type 3, Var. 2 according to McDaniel classification). The Order of the Red Banner by Durov and Strekalov shows that it was manufactured by the Moscow Mint in 1945.

In outstanding, excellent condition. The enamel is literally perfect, completely free of even the microscopic contact marks that could be found under a 10x magnification. The details of the wreath are beautifully crisp and free of visible wear; the gilt finish is exceptionally well-preserved and bright throughout. There is a very attractive even patina to the reverse of the badge. The order comes on an original suspension, a WW2 two-layer model in steel with self-locking pin. The old, possibly original ribbon is perfectly preserved and clean. The connecting link appears to be original as well; its ends are still joined with solder. Overall, a truly superb example of a WW2 Order of the Red Banner - in our view, impossible to upgrade!
