Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class, Type 3, #5969620, 1985 issue.
In solid sterling silver (925/1000 silver content) with gold plating and enamels, 46.4 mm tall x 44.5 mm wide; weighs 27.2 g not including the screw plate. Variation without a well-defined depression around the screw post, less common than the version with the circular depression.
In outstanding, excellent condition. The enamel is essentially perfect: free of any wear visible to the naked eye and has only a couple of microscopic contact marks that are hard to find even with a 10x loupe. The details of the starburst, sword and rifle are pristine. There is a very attractive even toning to the silver throughout, while the fragile factory-applied dark oxidation finish on the rifle and sword is completely intact and clearly visible. The screw post is full length, nearly 13.5 mm, and includes an original screw plate. This superb example is practically impossible to upgrade condition-wise.
