Glory III,324530,Company Starshina,137th Separate Work Battalion,19th Army

Here is my very first Glory 3rd. I purchased this "only Soviet award in the shop" from the now closed Medal shop in York around 3 years ago. I haggled and went home happy. It may not be in the best condition but it does seem very honest to me.

I would be interested in researching if I were informed (privately) of the very best price on research.

Order "Glory" 3rd Class #324530.

To think i would have walked past that every day when i lived there but then i had no collection to speak of!

Good find though,

Im saving for my first one now :).
