Lot of Two Early WWII Russian Soviet Orders and a Badge - Lot of Two Russian Soviet WWII Orders and a Badge 1. Order of Red Star. Number 65271. Variant 3. On the reverse there is the mint mark ”MONETNYJ DVOR”, stamped in two lines. Sub Variety 4. Badges of the fourth variety were produced at the Moscow Mint in 1942–1943. The mint mark is located slightly below the base of the upper ray of the star. The word ”MONETNYJ ” is curved upward in an arc (concave). In the word ”MONETNYJ ” the dash above the last letter rises above the surface of the word. 2. Order of Patriotic War of 2nd Class, number 93640. Type 2. Screw-post fastening. On June 19, 1943, a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR was issued ”On approving the designs and descriptions of ribbons for orders and medals of the USSR and the rules for wearing orders, medals, order ribbons and insignia”. According to this decree, the Order of the Patriotic War belonged to the category of orders ”attached to clothing without suspension - by means of a threaded post and nut”. Thus, the second type of the order lost its suspension and acquired a threaded post on the reverse. The badge of the order itself consists of two parts. The first, main part is a ten-pointed silver star (the enameled and radiant five-pointed stars are combined into a single element). The second part is the applied golden hammer and sickle. The third component may be considered the round fastening screw plate, 33 mm in diameter, which screws onto a silver threaded post soldered in the center of the reverse. There are no inscriptions on the screw plate. On the reverse there are two copper rivets holding the hammer and sickle. The rivets are located in the center of the reverse, on either side of the threaded post (at approximately 2 and 8 o'clock positions). 3. Soviet Badge Khasan – 6 VIII 1938. Issued to participants of the Battle of Lake Khasan, a Soviet–Japanese border conflict that occurred in July–August 1938 near the Soviet Far East and Manchuria.
