Order of the Badge of Honor, Type 2, Var. 5 (screw back with
two-word mint mark), #29438, circa 1942 issue. A desirable
mid-war issue in superb condition. Comes with original silver
screw plate.
Order of the Badge of Honor, Type 3, Var. 1 "flat back", #43757, circa mid- to
late-1944. Rare sub-variation with larger font in the second line of the mint
mark. No more than 2000 of these were made. This is also one the
relatively few WW2 issues of the suspension type Badge of Honor. In excellent
condition.
Order of the Badge of Honor, Type 3, Var. 1 "flat back", #74595, with award
document, June 1945 issue to a prominent Soviet historian and Marxist philosopher
who had been awarded with a Stalin Prize in 1943. An extremely rare WW2 award to a
political scientist rather than a factory worker, manager or engineer. The set is
in superb condition.
Order of the Badge of Honor, Type 3, Var. 2 "flat back", #100960, circa 1948. Very
attractive early post-war piece in excellent condition. Comes on original
suspension.
Order of the Badge of Honor, Type 4 Var. 1, 169941, circa 1952. One of the
earliest of the "hollow back" Badges of Honor, this scarce sub-variation features
worker's coveralls without a belt and the serial number without an underline.
The serial number is among the lowest observed for this version. In superb
condition, practically impossible to upgrade.

excellent condition and includes original steel suspension.
Order of the Badge of Honor, Type 4, Var. 1, #396159, with a document, awarded in
1966 to a Lithuanian woman. Relatively uncommon version without the raised line
under the serial number. The booklet contains no other decorations and is filled-
out in beautiful calligraphy, a style associated with "Kremlin awards". The order
is in very fine condition, while the document is in excellent condition.
Order of the Badge of Honor, Type 4, Var. 1 (with separate letters), #564793,

upgrade. Comes on original steel suspension with old ribbon.
Order of the Badge of Honor, Type 4, Var. 2 (single-piece construction), #979701,
