Shanghai Air Defence Order.
This one has not been included in either the PLA Museum catalog or the 2000 book. I got it with the award certificate and photo of the Soviet recipient wearing it in the mid 1990s. So far I have seen or heard about FIVE of these Orders and no other award paperwork or photos in wear.
It is a nickle-silver like hard metal, so weakly gilt that it appears NOT to be gilt at all except in certain light and depending on whether it is scanned (very silvery looking) or photographed (the gilt shows better then). the obverse center disk is a separate piece with a painted star. Typical Chinese coiled wire tubes and pin reverse. Electrical Engineering branch Guards Major Vasily Timofeevich Karambirov of the 1st Guards Anti-Aircraft Searchlight Regiment had this photo attested on 12 January 1954. That's a pretty good way to date it! :thumbsup |
