Let`s hope our colleagues will be kind enough to translate inscriptions on the box lid and medal reverse

Hmmm

Looks like 6th class to me.
Yes, NCO's got this award in lower classes.
Higher grade of this order completely replaces the lower.

Actually I don't think that it is impossible to determine (by this photo) what version of 2nd class St. Anna Mr. Lu is wearing...
But I have serious doubts that Imperial Chapter cared much about actual faith of Mr. Lu :whistle:

Sacred treasure was a general award of course.
Order class corresponds to your current rank and longevity of service.
If you are General - 2nd class.
If you are Lieutenant - 6th class.

So many questions!
"On sale in Canada" and (I guess) "Canada Specials" mean that the style of these photos is typical for one well known canadian dealer.

This sacred treasure looks like it came from late 10s-early 20s ...
P.S. I presume "on sale in Canada" :whistle:

Numbered medals by MMD have very peculiar problem with gold covering...

Naa
Not bravery, since it is not only an award for "for bravery, selflessness and personal courage in fighting for the protection of the Motherland and the public interests of the Russian Federation", but also an award "for distinction in military bearing during service, for alertness and active participation in exercises and manoeuvres, for excellent performance in combat training"
So it is more like USSR Medal for Combat Service ;)

are called Umalatova correct?
No, it isn't.
Correct "official" name for these will be
Awards of the Permanent Bureau of the Congress of people's deputies of the USSR / Награды Постоянного Президиума Съезда народных депутатов СССР
"Ulmalatovskiye" awards or simply "Ulmalatovky" is collectors slang.

What you mean Nick
These unofficial awards can be bought together with blank docs and for extra money even with correctly filled docs with the name of buyer in it

so no matter if a piece is worth 10 or 1000 in order to be worthy to stand in a display to the delight of the eyes.
each piece for small or inexpensive as it is, has its own story to tell if you know how to read..
Yes, it's not the price, but aesthetic and historical value behind this or that piece .
Unfortunately thousands of unofficial RF medals lack both completely ...

Order of the Double Dragon - Chinese recipients

Well, I checked article 4 of St.Anna statute (1845).
It is simply states that
"On orders ... bestowed to non-Christians images of St.Anna and Cross are replaced with the image of Imperial Russian Eagle"
