Condition:
The order is in excellent, near mint condition
. The enamel shows magnificent luster and is completely free of any wear detectable by the naked eye - as would be expected of the award that was never worn. There are only a couple of microscopic contact marks that are not easy to find even with a 10x loupe. The golden hammer & sickle emblem and starburst are likewise pristine. There is very attractive toning to the silver and gold parts. The screw post is full length, approx. 12.5 mm long measured from the reverse of the Silver Star. Comes with original 999” solid silver screw plate.
The best indication of condition is to study the photographs carefully, the pictures that are taken are also to be considered a part of the description of the item

The
Order of the Patriotic Wa
r
is a Soviet military decoration that was awarded to all soldiers in the Soviet armed forces, security troops, and to partisans for heroic deeds during the German-Soviet War, known by the former Soviet Union as the Great Patriotic War. The
Order was established on May 20, 1942
and came in first class and second class depending upon the merit of the deed. It was the first Soviet order established during the war, and the first Soviet order divided into classes. Its statute precisely defined, which deeds are awarded with the order, e.g. shooting down three aircraft as a fighter pilot, or destroying two heavy or three medium or four light tanks, or capturing a warship, or repairing an aircraft under fire after landing on a hostile territory, and so on, were awarded with the first class. It was also given to some allied troops and commanders, including western allies.
Altogether, over 324,903 of the 1st Class
and 951,652 of the 2nd Class were issued during the war. Until 1985, the total number reached about 1,370,000. In 1985, during the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, it was decided that all surviving veterans of the war would be awarded either 2nd or 1st Class of the Order, and about 2,054,000 first class and 5,408,000 second class were issued then. As of January 1992, the total number of all awarded Orders was 2,487,098 first class and 6,688,497 second class variants.
