The order is in silver and enamels; measures 46.3 mm tall x 44.4 mm wide; weighs 27.1 g without the screw plate. Variation featuring a reverse without a well-defined depression around the screw post.

In excellent condition. The enamel is essentially perfect; there is just a single minuscule surface flake at the tip of the upper right arm, practically unnoticeable to the naked eye, and no other wear that could be found even under a 10x magnification. The original factory-applied dark finish on the rifle and sword is likewise perfect. There is a very attractive patina to silver on both sides. The screw post is full length, over 13.5 mm, and includes an original screw plate.

Order Booklet, Series I #375063 is of the special type designed specifically for the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd cl. of 1985 issue. Just like the award, the document is in excellent condition.
