Order "For Merit To State Security".

Hi Guys
Just received these "Orders for Merit to State Security" 2nd class and 3rd class.
The 2nd class is silver hallmarked 925 for Sterling Silver, with blue and white enamel. The 3rd class is bronze with green and white enamel. Each os these have on the obverse of the badge "LR" on the top arm (Republic Latvia) and a "D" on each of the 9 and 3 O'clock arms this is for "Droshibas Dienests" (Security Service), the center reads "For Fatherland and Liberty" on the reverse "For contributions to developing Security Service".
