Bronze Table Medal in Commemoration of Soviet Long Duration Space Flights, 65 mm,
1981 issue by the Leningrad Mint. The medal celebrated recent Soviet achievements
in space, in particular the record-setting flights of Cosmonauts Lyakhov, Popov
and Ryumin aboard the Salyut-6 Space Station. One of only 1500 made. Near mint
condition.

Order of National Flag, 1st cl., Type 2 Var. 3 ("star reverse" screw back), #1333,
c. 1950s-60s. One of the early pieces, reportedly made in Czechoslovakia on
commission from the DPRK government. In excellent condition, an attractive piece
with well-preserved enamel. This is a very scarce version of what was at the time
of its issue the highest decoration of DPRK.

Badge of a Sailor for Participating in the Antarctic Voyage of the Whaling Flotilla Slava ("Glory"), circa late-1950s - early 60s. An extremely well-made and very scarce badge from the era when whale hunting was not frowned upon and was considered just a different kind of fishing. In excellent condition and includes scarce original screw plate.

Veteran Badge in Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the
Operation Neva (Lifting the Siege of Leningrad in January
1944.) A relatively uncommon example of veteran's badge issued
after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, yet in made in
the same manner as Soviet-era badges. In excellent condition.

Distinguished NKVD Employee badge, Type 2, #2982, with award document, July 1944.
The certificate has a nice photo of the recipient; also has facsimile signature
of Laverty Beria which was blacked-out after Beria's arrest and execution (the
signature nevertheless is still visible and clearly recognizable.) The badge is in
fine to very fine condition, respectable for a WW2 issue. The document is in
excellent condition.

Army / Air Force officer full dress belt with dagger hangers, dated 1982.
Unusually large size, will fit up to XXXL (50") waist, adjustable to almost
any smaller size. Excellent condition. This type of belt was used very sparingly
after the 1958 change in uniform regulations and is much less common than the
similar naval officer belt.

Large Naval Ensign in wool bunting, dated 1988. Measuring an impressive 5
¾' x 3 ¾', this classic Soviet flag was intended for one of the larger warships in
Soviet inventory but possibly never saw service due to the collapse of the USSR
and consequent decline of the Soviet navy. In very good condition, with strong
colors.
