Order of the National Flag, 1st cl., Type 2 Var. 3 ("star reverse" screw back),
#1333,
c. 1950s-60s. One of the early pieces, reportedly made in Czechoslovakia on
commission from the DPRK government. In excellent condition, an attractive piece
with well-preserved enamel. This is a very scarce version of what was at the time
of its issue the highest decoration of DPRK.
Order of the National Flag, 2nd cl., Type 4 Var.3, #14667, circa
late 1950s-1960s. One of the early issues reportedly made in
Czechoslovakia on commission from the DPRK government, this
version features horizontal pin and flat reverse of the finial
balls. Very scarce piece in very fine to excellent condition.
Order of the National Flag, 3rd cl., Type 3 Var. 1 (screw back in silver with star
counter-relief, apparently made in Czechoslovakia), #3783, circa 1950s. The serial
number of this specimen is mentioned in the reference guide by Sessler & McDaniel.
A very
fine example of a rare version of the order.
