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

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

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.

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.

Order of the Red Banner, 2nd award, Type 2, Var. 2, Sub-var.
1, #1596, awarded in March 1943 to the Deputy Chief of
the Bryansk Regional Partisan Command. A career NKVD
officer in the pre-war years, the recipient was one of
the key people credited for saving the city of Tula from
falling into enemy hands during the Battle of Moscow. In
1942, he greatly distinguished himself by organizing large-
scale sabotage operations in the German rear in the forests
near Bryansk - at the time, the key area of operations of
the up-and-coming Soviet partisan movement - and in the
Kursk Region. His leadership directly contributed to the
great expansion of partisan activities: in just the period
from August - first third of October 1942, the partisans of
Bryansk Region derailed 121 railway freight trains, blew up
2 armored trains, destroyed 45 German tanks and huge number
of other vehicles and weapons, and killed nearly 18000 enemy
soldiers. Soon after being awarded with the Second Red
Banner for his role in partisan warfare, he was promoted to
Major General. In 1944, he was decorated with an Order of
Kutuzov 2nd cl. for his work as Deputy Chief of the Soviet
liaison team with the Tito's communist partisans in
Yugoslavia. In the second half of the 1940s decade, he got
appointed to top positions in the NKVD of Moldavia and
Ukraine, and for two years was the Minister of Internal
Affairs of Kabardino-Balkar Autonomous Republic. He was made
an Honor Citizen of Tula and Bryansk; had a street named
after him in the city of Tula; and in 2016, posthumously
received the Title of Hero of Russian Federation.
The order has been converted to a suspension to comply with post-1943 regulations and then restored to its original screw back appearance, but it is nevertheless still an attractive original piece with well-preserved enamel. Comes with archival research. A rare award to an extraordinary individual.

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

throughout the war to train and lead other pilots, and by

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!
