Order of the Red Banner, Type 1, Var. 2, Sub-var. 2 ("Mirror Reverse"), #981, Feb. 1937 award for the Spanish Civil War. From 1936- 37, the recipient served as an aviation technician with the 15th Ground Attack Group (flying Soviet R-5 airplanes) of the Spanish Republican Air Forces. With its extremely low serial number, the award is extraordinary in more ways than one! Fine unaltered condition, very respectable for an "Mirror Reverse" screw back. Comes with archival research.

The award was almost certainly for either the Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939 or the fighting against the Japanese at Khalkhin-Gol in August 1939. The order is a very early and uncommon version of the "Mirror Reverse" Red Banner. In very fine condition, far better than the average for the screw back type.
