Soviet Order of Glory, 3rd Class - 486,979

[avenger]

This Order of Glory 3rd Class is numbered 486,979.

It's my understanding this was likely awarded late war, sometime around the end of 1944 through around February 1945. Could have been for the Soviet offensive in the Balkans, storming of Budapest, Koenigsberg, or the Vistula - Oder operation perhaps.....

I suspect the ribbon may have been replaced as is quite common with Russian awards.
