Description

Institution Date: August 1, 1924. In Silver gilt with red and white enamels with a white enameled “3” on the obverse, with the reverse Monetny Dvor mint marked and number engraved "17409" on the reverse, 37 mm x 46 mm, on its period ribbon, mounted to a five-sided aluminum suspension with pinback, intact enamels, extremely fine.

Footnote: This is the oldest Order of the Soviet Union. Existing first as an Order of the Russian Federation (established on September 16, 1918), it was converted into an Order of the USSR on August 1, 1924. The statute was not established until January 11, 1932. It was discontinued in 1991. It was conferred for self-sacrifice, courage, and bravery in defending Russia. It was awarded to Army, Navy, Border Guard, and Internal Security personnel, as well as KGB employees and military ships. It may also be bestowed upon foreigners.

Disclaimer: The serial number might not correlate directly as a result of an early award nomination and a later receipt of the award.
