Order of Lenin

Awarded to Sr. Lieutenant Platon Petrovich Ryabov (Платон Петрович Рябов) For conducting 31 combat mission relentlessly eliminating the cocky fascists, igniting a forest and eliminating an enemy troops concentration near the settlement Yelnya while under severe AA-fire, destroying up to 5 enemy aircraft, 1 tank and 7 trucks with troops. On many occasions, the aircraft came back with up to 15-20 holes but comrade Ryabov took off again for new combat missions Recommended for the the title “HERO OF THE SOVIET UNION” https://sovietorders.com/product/sovi... Made of solid gold, platinum and enamels. Measures 39.58 mm in height (including the top of the flag pole), 37.98 mm in width and weighs 35.0 gram without its screwplate. The mint mark and the serial number are located on its reverse. This original order is excellent, well above average condition for an early wartime screwback variation. Its details are all crisp and the higher laying parts of Lenin’s face show light wear and a few small scratches. Its enamels are very well preserved for this early type and fully original with some minor flaking at the right side only. The order comes with its time period and well fitted silver screwplate and there have been no repairs or conversions. This is an extremely rare screwback variation with a “Mondvor” mintmark and double tier screwpost base. These initially ranged between the serial numbers ~2700-3800 and were awarded during the height of Stalin’s Purge in 1938. As a result some of these Orders of Lenin were confiscated and re-used with a new serial number being engraved officially by the mint. Only a handful of these are known and even less so with a double tier screwpost.
