Soviet Order of Honor #1559824
Rare late riveted variation of the Order of the Badge of Honor (Order of Honor) with a hammer and sickle on the bottom of its obverse
Awarded to Victor Mikhailovich Pokratov (Виктор Михайлович Пократов) (1932)
This original order is made of silver and enamels. It measures 32.75 mm in width, 51.52 mm in height and weighs 31.6 gram without its suspension. The serial number is engraved on the reverse by a rotating tool. The minimum know number is 1463830 and the maximum is 1576991. Hoever, far less of these were produced since there is much overlapping with the common ‘Order of the Badge of Honor’.
The order is in excellent condition with crisp details and light wear on its higher laying parts only. Its enamels are stunning without dings, chipping or scratches and all gold plating is present. It comes with its time period double layer suspension and uncut connection ring. Both sides show an appealing medium dark patina.
This order conferred on citizens of the USSR for “outstanding achievements in production, scientific research and social and cultural activity”.Â
