Order of the Red Banner, Type 1, Var. 2, Sub-var. 2 ("Mirror
Reverse"), #7286, awarded in December 1939 to a Politruk
(junior political officer) of an infantry unit for the
Battle of Khalkhin Gol. Very uncommon award, one of only
595 Red Banners issued for the series of battles against the
Japanese in June - September 1939 (known in the West as
Nomonhan Incident). In fine condition. Includes archival
research.

$1,950.00 |
Order of the Red Banner, Type 2, Var. 2, #6030, awarded
in August 1941 to a squad commander of a tank support
motorized infantry unit of the Northwestern Front for fighting
at Daugavpils in Latvia. Assisted by 3 other soldiers, he
captured prisoner 12 German NCOs in action on 28 June
1941 - just 6 days after the start of the Patriotic War.
The order is an extremely uncommon specimen with a serial
number from the Type 1 "Mirror Reverse" range. This is one of
the few Type 2 pieces that had the "un-utilized" serial
numbers of the Type 1 Red Banners that didn't pass quality
inspection and were subsequently melted down at the mint. In
fine condition. Comes with archival research (the award
commendation is one of the earliest we have seen for the
Patriotic War, with the award petition addressed directly to
Stalin.)

Order of the Red Banner, Type 2, Var. 3, Sub- var. 1 (screw
back), #52001, awarded to an artillery captain for providing
direct fire support during an infantry assault southwest of
Voronezh in January 1943. On a single day the artillery
squadron he commanded destroyed two platoons of German
infantry, two 75 mm artillery pieces, two vehicles and up to
70 horse drawn carriages. The order has not been converted to
suspension; although the enamel is damaged, this is still an
attractive piece, and its overall condition is about average
for the screw back type. Comes with archival research.

Order of the Red Banner, Type 2, Var. 3, Sub-var. 1, #32937,
awarded in July 1942 to a commander of Katyusha Multiple
Rocket Launcher squadron of (aka Stalin's Organs) of
the
Northwestern Front. The award was bestowed for a series of
actions in April - May 1942 near Staraya Russa (at the
northern side of the famous Demyansk bulge) in which his
squadron destroyed 2500 enemy troops. The order is in good
overall condition, an unaltered piece showing a lot of "combat
character" and therefor attractive despite significant enamel
damage. Comes with archival research.

Order of the Red Banner, Type 2, Var. 3 (screw back),
#40568, awarded to the Politruk of a tank support
submachine-gunners company in a tank brigade of the Kalinin
Front. In August 1942, he showed exceptional bravery during
the offensive at Rzhev. He replaced a fallen commander of
one of the platoons and despite being wounded himself,
personally led an infantry charge thus ensuring the success
for his entire company. The order is in very fine
condition, a very attractive piece - far better than vast
majority of surviving Red Banner screw backs. Comes with
complete archival research.

Order of the Red Banner, Type 3, Var. 2 (Strekalov
classification), so-called "Coat Hanger"
Krasnokamsk Mint conversion from screw back, #63178. Awarded

Front. Comes with archival research. An extremely rare and
desirable variation.

$550.00 |
Order of the Red Banner, Type 4, Var. 1, #97027, awarded in
May 1944 to a Lithuanian national, deputy rifle battalion
commander in the 16th Lithuanian Rifle Division. The order was
a cumulative award for his excellent service, but the
recommendation especially cited the 1943 episode when he
killed three German scouts with machine gun while covering the
retreat of his battalion and evacuation of the wounded -
despite being wounded himself. The order is a very uncommon
early suspension type (note the low serial number) in
excellent condition. Comes with archival research.

Order of the Red Banner, Type 4, Var. 1, #178082, awarded in
September 1944 to an Infantry Junior Lieutenant. He earned the
award in battle for the Vistula River bridgehead near Lublin
during the previous July. On a single day, he reconnoitered
German positions three times gathering vital information, and
on the following night showed exemplary bravery in repelling
seven enemy counterattacks. He was recommended for an Order of
Lenin but ultimately received the Red Banner. An uncommon
award, one of relatively few late war Red Banners for combat
rather than length of service. The order is in fine to very
fine condition. Comes with archival research.

Order of the Red Banner, 2nd award, Type 2, Var. 2 (Monetnyi
Dvor screw back), #2395, August 1943 issue to a bomber
pilot and commander of a night bomber regiment. He flew a
total of 254 combat missions - many of them in support of the
Soviet ground troops during the battle of Kursk. The order is
fine to very fine condition, with minor repairs to enamel but
never converted to suspension. Comes with comprehensive
archival research and English translation.

$5,800.00 |
Order of the Red Banner, 2nd award, Type 2, Var. 2 (screw back with Monetnyi Dvor mint mark), #1370, awarded in November 1942 to a Sergeant Major, a rear gunner / radio operator of a Pe-2 dive bomber of the Kalinin Front. By September 1942, he had completed a total of 151 combat missions, most of them for aerial reconnaissance. On one of his early missions of the war he shot down a German fighter with assistance of two other gunners of his bomber group. The fact that he was decorated with a Second Order of the Red Banner is an exceptionally rare case: almost all recipients of consecutive Red Banner awards were commissioned officers, not NCOs. The decoration itself is a beautiful early piece with some highly uncommon features. Comes with archival research.

$950.00 |
Order of the Red Banner, 2nd award, Type 5, Var. 2, #22448,
awarded in 1953 to an Air Force Colonel. In excellent
condition. The recipient fought in the "Winter War" against

War as chief navigation inspector with various fronts and
military districts. Comes with archival research and a copy of
recipient's WW2 order booklet which has a nice early photo of
him.

Order of the Red Banner 4th Award, Type 5, Var. 1, #2058,
awarded in 1952 to an Air Force Major General, a Hero of the
Soviet Union who had earned a Hero Star in the 1939-40
Winter War against Finland. In 1937-38 he flew 113
combat missions on a TB bomber in the Spanish Civil War. In
the early part of the Patriotic War he commanded a bomber
regiment and took part in nearly all the major defensive
battles including Leningrad, Polar Region, Moscow, Caucasus,
and Stalingrad. He continued to fly combat sorties
throughout the war to train and lead other pilots, and by
the V-Day had added 73 combat missions to his already
impressive pre-war tally. After the war, he continued to
serve in the Air Force, graduated from the General Staff
Academy and in 1953, took part in the purge of the Air Force
of the Moscow District following the arrest of its commander
Vasiliy Stalin (son of late Joseph Stalin.) Eventually he
rose to an Air Corps commander and retired only in 1973
having the rank of Lieutenant General.
The order is in excellent condition. Comes with archival
research and copy of the article about the article about the
recipient in the catalog "Heroes of the Soviet Union". A
scarce fourth consecutive Red Banner award to an extremely
interesting individual!
