| For Distinguished
Service in the Preservation of Public Order (15 ribbons) |
 |
 Instituted
on 1.11.1950 and some 47.000 were issued. Undocumented, otherwise
in excellent condition in copper-nickel alloy with 15 ribbons
on reverse depicting Soviet coat of arms (7 left, 7 right,
one below). Released after 1957 when the Finno-Karelian Republic
was down-graded to an autonomous region.
Variations 1 and 2 were made of silver (21.6g), and variation
3 is silver plated (neusilber 16.1g). This is variation 4
made from a copper-nickel alloy (17.3g). I have a spare copy.
