Recently aquired from Nota Bene's website - Order of Glory 2nd Class. Heres the discription: S/n is 17585 (thin variation). Has moderate wear, enamel is intact, only about 5% of gilt is still present, but unmistakably a 2nd class. Researched to Jr. Sergeant Skrylev, Mikhail Timofeevitch. Awarded in 1945 - for breaking an enemy defense line at Sandomir, crossing the Nida River, and crossing the Order River. With his artillery piece he had destroyed multiple enemy positions, observation posts, machine guns, mortars, etc. Comes with a brief research and translation. This will be my first medal with any reaserch I will let you know more when it arrives, but here are a couple pics enjoy
