This is Afgani Order of Glory, I believe this is 3rd class. I don't have a pic of the reverse. Not that any one of us here can read it ;)

This single class order (the Order of Glory) was, I believe (and have been told by friends in Kabul who recall those days), the rough eqivalent of the Soviet Red Banner of Labor.

I have never seen (not been told of) one that was numbered.

And the last one. Not enamel but some kind of lacquer.
