Description
Soviet Order of the Badge of Honor #44865
Very early ‘flatback’ variation (apx end 1943)
Made of silver and enamels. It measures 33.27 mm in width, 48.95 mm in height including its eyelet and weighs 37.5 grams without its suspension. The minimum known serial number for this variation with a ‘straight’ mint mark in two lines is 43412 and the maximum is 45421. Since there is overlapping with the numbering of other variations so less than 2,000 of this sub-variation were produced.
The order is in an excellent, well above average condition. Its details are still crisp and the order shows minor wear on its higher laying parts. The enamels are beautiful and without repairs or chipping and show some small scratches only. The order comes with its time period double layer suspension and uncut connection ring.
Scarce piece with nice research potential
This order conferred on citizens of the USSR for “outstanding achievements in production, scientific research and social and cultural activity”.
