Silver gilt, enamels; measures 52.6 mm in height, 52.2 mm in width; weighs 45.8 g. Screw back, riveted 3-piece construction.

In outstanding, excellent condition. The enamel appears perfect to the unaided eye; even under 10x magnification, only a few microscopic contact marks could be found - none of the usual flaking, scratches or other wear. The enamel retains all of its magnificent translucency and luster. The starburst is likewise free of noticeable wear, and its gilt is beautifully preserved. The reverse is completely pristine and exhibits an attractive light toning to silver. The screw post is full length of approx. 16 mm and includes an original screw plate.

The issue case is wrapped in red leatherette with silk lined lid, similar in appearance and construction to Soviet award cases. Comes complete with the internal pad for attaching the award. The box is in excellent condition: it shows only minimal wear to the exterior, mostly at the upper corners. The internal parts are practically perfect, having only the slightest soiling from the contact with the decoration.

The entire ensemble is extremely impressive. Condition-wise, the order is among the best of its kind we have ever handled. In combination with its original box, it makes a set that is practically impossible to upgrade.
