Description
Order of Glory 3rd class #560494
Made of solid silver and enamels. Measures 45.15 in width, 47.87 mm in height and it weighs 22.2 grams (not including its suspension).
In excellent condition with the details of higher laying parts like the clock in the tower still perfectly visible. The enamels are problem free without chipping or repairs and show some contact marks only. Both sides show an appealing dark patina. The order comes with a brass suspension and its silver connection has not been cut.
Probably awarded in the summer of 1945 so with good 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.
