    1. Order of Freedom and Independence, 2nd cl, Type 1, Soviet-made screw back, 1950s issue.

      Silver gilt, enamels. Very high quality, typical of Soviet mint manufacture, with beautiful enamels. Massive construction, 56.4 x 54.9mm.

      Excellent condition. Enamels are intact and the details of the center medallion show almost no wear.

      Established in 1950, this order was a strictly combat decoration, awarded exclusively by the DPRK Supreme Peoples Assembly Standing Committee. It was issued to leaders of larger military and guerilla units. Few have also been given to Soviet military advisers and pilots who fought in Korean War. This order can be roughly compared to the Soviet Order of Alexander Nevsky.

    2. I believe that it is the Republic Order of Merit, Fourth Class, Second or Third Order. The rays represent the colors of th State of Manchukuo.

      The Four characters on the case read: (in my humble opinion) "Order of Merit 4th Class". I have more pictures in my file whick I need to locate.
