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.
