my north korean orders

[claretbaron]

Order of Freedom and Independence, 2nd cl, Type 1, Soviet-made screw back, 1950s issue.
Silver gilt, enamels. Very high quality, typical of Soviet mint manufacture, with beautiful enamels. Massive construction, 56.4 x 54.9mm.

Excellent condition. The details show almost no wear.

Established in 1950, this order was a strictly combat decoration, awarded exclusively by the DPRK Supreme Peoples Assembly Standing Committee. It was issued to leaders of larger military and guerilla units. A few were also awarded to Soviet military advisers and pilots who fought in the Korean War. This order can be roughly compared to the Soviet Order of Alexander Nevsky.

I have 3 this orders.

These are very detailed images North Korea made some very nice Orders and Medals for their military services. I look forward to seeing more of your collection in the future.

Thank you for posting and taking the time in providing information on your NK order.

These are really nice awards that I have not seen before. We Americans might end up seeing a LOT more of these in the near future, but not under the best circumstances. : /

Thanks for posting!
