Type 2 Variation 1 R2
  Of the Patriotic War 1st Class

Established 20 May 1942 and awarded to enlisted men and officers irrespective of rank for skillful command of their units in action (some 344.000 issued). Excellent condition of enamel, not with document but relatively low serial number (182937). This variation has the "beams" on the reverse at 10, 2 and 6 o'clock (variation 2 at 12, and 8 o'clock) and the mint mark in one line. I have several spare pieces, with documents and without - see my awards for exchange page or contact me.
