Description
Order of Glory 3rd class #165180
Thin variation
Made of solid silver and enamels. Measures 46.87 in width, 48.68 mm in height and it weighs 19.5 grams without its suspension.
In excellent condition with light overall wear and the details of the tower and wreath mostly visible. The red enamels on the small star and lower banner are fully present without chipping or repairs. Both sides show a medium toning to the silver and several small dings and scratches. The order comes with a time period, double layer steel suspension and its connection ring has not been cut.
Probably awarded mid 1944 so with nice research potential
The Order of Glory, modelled closely upon the Tsarist Cross of St. George, was awarded to non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the armed forces, as well as junior lieutenants of the air force, for bravery in the face of the enemy. A person initially received the third degree, and would subsequently be promoted to higher degrees for further acts of bravery.
