Order of the Patriotic War, 1st cl., Type 1, Var. 3, #23335,
awarded posthumously to a heroic infantry battalion
commander who was killed by a German sniper during the
offensive in the Kuban region. The order is in very fine
condition, far better than average for the Type 1 award: it
has enamel damage to the top arm but is in perfect condition
otherwise and includes original suspension device. Comes
with
archival research.

Order of the Patriotic War 1st cl., Type 2 Var. 1, #43498,
awarded in November 1944 to a Guards Northern Fleet NCO, a
crewman of an MO-class submarine chaser. He showed
exceptional bravery in amphibious assaults in the arctic
during the Petsamo-Kirkenes Operation in October 1944. In
one of the operations, he was the first to reach the
shore and standing in ice-cold water under enemy fire, held
on his shoulders the gangplank used by the landing
party. On two separate occasions, he demonstrated
complete disregard of pain and mortal danger when he saved
his boat by tossing overboard a burning smoke grenade which
had malfunctioned. He was recommended for an Order of the
Red Banner but received the Order of Patriotic War, 1st cl.,
a lower award, instead. This heroic sailor was also awarded
with an Order of the Red Star for valiant conduct during
amphibious assaults in the early part of the war as well as
an Ushakov Medal in 1945 for skillful actions while
protecting allied convoys and in particular, saving the
crew of a British frigate sunk by a German U-Boat. The
order is in excellent condition and includes original silver
screw plate. Comes with archival research.

Order of the Patriotic War 1st cl., Type 2 Var. 2, #243743,
awarded in August 1945 to a senior military intelligence
officer on the Staff of the 1st Belorussian Front, for
organizing intelligence gathering and sabotage "Spetsnaz"
detachments operating behind the enemy lines during the
Battle of Kursk, offensives on the west banks of the Dnieper
and Oder Rivers, and the Capture of Berlin. He was
particularly effective during the storming of Berlin by
inserting espionage agents into German frontline units under
the guise of negotiations. The order is an uncommon version
with two-line mint mark and "Mercedes" position of the spokes
on the reverse of the golden starburst, in very fine
condition. Comes with archival research.

Order of the Patriotic War 1st cl., Type 2 Var. 2, #317985,
with a 1972 order booklet, awarded to a machine gun platoon
commander for bravery during an infantry assault in East
Prussia. In a single skirmish, he prevented an ambush that
threatened his unit, killed six Nazi soldiers, and suppressed
two weapon nests. Although wounded, he chose to remain on the
battlefield until the fighting was over. The award was
officially bestowed in November 1944, but it was only
delivered to him nearly three decades later. Both the order
and the document are in near mint condition, simply
impossible to upgrade. Comes with a copy of the award
recommendation from the Russian archives.
