Hi Shane,
This badge was indeed upgraded to Order status. Two versions can be found, the 1940 version has a "reverse image" back and the 1945 version has a smooth back. Neither is numbered. I have a 1940 version, but don't have the capability of posting a photograph. Another recent posting shows the cover of the 31 July 1944 issue of "Life" Magazine which features an article on "Russia's Generals." On page 32 there is a photo of Marshal Voronov, Chief of Artillery. He is wearing the Order. The caption reads:"...took the surrender of Field Marshal von Paulus at Stalingrad. A huge, calm, cold man, he is an artillery fanatic, used it to break Mannerheim Line in 1939 and was made Vice Commissar of Defense in 1943." |
