Description
Order of the Patriotic War 2nd class #612122
Scarce small ‘Fish Eye’ variation
Made of solid silver, gold and enamels. The order weighs 23.0 grams without its screwplate and measures 43.45 mm in width and 45.50 mm in height.
In superb condition with all details crisp and few traces of wear only. The enamels are beautiful and extremely well preserved without dings, scratches or repairs. The order comes with its original, time period and well fitted screwplate and its screw has not been shortened.
‘Fish Eye’ variations were produced by the Leningrad Mint and are significant smaller than the other wartime orders of the Patriotic War. This relatively small variation is highly sought by collectors for its very distinctive look and relative rarity. The lowest known number in this range of this variation is #580061 and the highest known number is #617896.
Probably awarded in the summer of 1945 so with good research potential
