John F. Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Here is the "Order 9 September 1944" 3rd emission, 1cl with swords and case. This was a massive award with enamel on both sides. This version/emission is consider rare because it was only awarded during a very short period beginning in the late 1960s and endeing in early part of 1970.
