Hi there,its looks like an "Order of the Patriotic War 2nd class".Other more informed members will be able to tell you a lot more tho, but there will be a citation for this if you get it researched.

Ed_Haynes Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 As you seem to be getting the Soviet addiction, Troy, it may be worth getting the Red Bible, McDaniel and Schmitt, while it can still be located at non-rare-book prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Yes, it's an Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class, type 3, variation 2 (no dimple around screwpost base). This one was produced in the Moscow Mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yes, it's an Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class, type 3, variation 2 (no dimple around screwpost base). This one was produced in the Moscow Mint.Thanks for the book tip Ed, I will look for that as I have taken a liking to the appearance of some of these Soviet medals. And Ferdinand, thanks for that answer. When you say it was produced in the Moscow Mint, are these just replicas of original medals? Does that number then have no meaning, or is it just a number for the replica? Thanks again fellas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that number then have no meaning, or is it just a number for the replica?It is an original order with original serial number. It is a type 3 (which isn't being faked (yet)), produced in 1984 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Okay, thanks Ferdinand. Would something like this have been given for service in Afghanistan or Chechnya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 No, this type of the Order of the Patriotic War was only given to veterans of the Great Patriotic War who still lived in 1985. They got one of these "1985-issues" during the celebrations of 40 years of victory. So it's just a jubilee award, not a combat decoration.Auke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
