Order of the Patriotic War, 1st cl., Type 2 Var. 1, #27914,
circa September - October 1943 issue. An exceptionally scarce
early version with very thin spokes on the reverse of the
golden starburst and gold-plating on the reverse of the silver

Order of the Patriotic War 1st class, Type 2 Var. 1, #158601,
awarded posthumously to a commander of an SU-76 self-
propelled
gun killed in action near Krakow in January 1945. The
award
commendation is among the most succinct we have seen. The
order is in near mint condition, as would be expected of the
award that was never worn (according to Soviet archival
records, it was given "for safekeeping as memory" to the widow
of the fallen hero.) Comes with archival research.

Order of the Patriotic War 1st cl., Type 2 Var. 2 (with two-
line mint mark), #306931, with a document, awarded to a
Guards Naval Infantry platoon commander. He earned the
award in the heroic naval assault at Eltigen, Crimea in
November 1943. After making a fighting march through the
enemy-held territory and even seizing a part of the city of
Kerch for a while, the surviving Soviet marines were
eventually taken off by boats. Although ultimately
unsuccessful, this operation becаme legendary in the
Soviet Union and to this day remains a part of Russian naval
infantry lore. Тhe award decree was issued in 1943, but the
decoration and document were delivered to the recipient
long after the war, in 1950s. The set includes a copy of the
award recommendation from the Russian archives.

Order of the Patriotic War 1st cl., Type 2 Var. 2, #317985,
with a 1972 order booklet, awarded to a machine gun platoon
commander for bravery during an infantry assault in East
Prussia. In a single skirmish, he prevented an ambush that
threatened his unit, killed six Nazi soldiers, and suppressed
two weapon nests. Although wounded, he chose to remain on the
battlefield until the fighting was over. The award was
officially bestowed in November 1944, but it was only
delivered to him nearly three decades later. Both the order
and the document are in near mint condition, simply
impossible to upgrade. Comes with a copy of the award
recommendation from the Russian archives.
