Description
Soviet Order of Glory 3rd class #670483
Made of solid silver and enamels. Measures 45.91 in width, 48.29 mm in height and it weighs 22.2 gram (not including its suspension).
This order is in nice condition with most details still visible. The higher laying parts like the clock in the tower and the wreath show light to medium wear. The enamel is all present and without repairs or significant flaking but shows some corrosion near the ‘C’ and second ‘A’ in Слава (Slava). The order comes with its time period steel suspension and its connection ring has been cut.
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.
