the first USSR Orders of the Red Banner and one of only 170 of its variation

condition.

Order of the Red Banner, Type 2, Var. 3, Sub-var. 1, #46539,

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

removing the screw post. The obverse is in fine condition,
free of enamel repairs. Comes with comprehensive archival
research.
