Order of Glory, 2nd cl., Type 2 (early "thin" version), #9244,
awarded on 23 October 1944 to a 76-mm gun crew commander for
repelling several German counterattacks in Latvia. He
inflicted massive losses on the enemy by firing the gun at
point-blank range and within a single day, destroyed three
German machine guns with their crews. The order is in very
fine to excellent condition, much better than usual for an
Order of Glory 2nd cl. Comes with archival research.

Order of Glory, 2nd cl., Type 3, #31571, awarded to a
Reconnaissance Scout Corporal of the 2nd Ukrainian Front for
bravery in action in April 1945 in a river crossing assault in
Austria southeast of Vienna. He was among the advance group
that crossed the river under German fire, single-handedly took
out a machine gun nest thus clearing the path for the rest of
his group, and eliminated 7 enemy soldiers with hand-grenades
and submachine gun. The order is in excellent condition, with
nicely preserved enamel and gilt on the center medallion.
Comes with archival research.

Order of Glory, 3rd cl., Type 2, #23134, awarded in
January 1944 to a senior sergeant of the 1st Tank Corps,
technician of a mobile radio station mounted on a Lend-Lease
Willys Jeep. He was wounded in the head by a shell fragment
but flatly refused to go to the hospital and despite
excruciating pain, continued to maintain uninterrupted radio
communications for his unit. Note the serial number which is
extremely low for an Order of Glory 3rd cl. and well within
the Glory 2nd cl. serial number range. In very fine condition.
Comes with archival research.

Order of Glory, 3rd cl., Type 2, Var. 1, #605147, awarded in
September 1945 to a gun layer of a 76-mm gun, for the war
against Japan. He with his crew killed 30 Japanese soldiers
and neutralized a field gun and 2 machine guns during an
enemy
counterattack which took place in Manchuria on 28 August
1945,
long after the surrender of most of the Japanese forces
elsewhere. The order is in superb condition. Comes with
archival research.

Order of Glory, 3rd cl., Type 2, Var. 1, #629019, circa mid- to late-1940s. Sub-variation featuring simplified, so-called "orange" ("apelsin") style of the Kremlin clock. In excellent condition. This piece was probably physically issued to its recipient in the second half of 1940s although it could have been awarded by an official decree before the end of the war or soon thereafter; in either case, it is definitely a decoration for WW2 exploits.
