Badge Of Honour,0012577,Head Of Department,Kirov Factory Leningrad,Winter War

Part of a broken group, but the research makes it interesting.

Order of the Badge of Honor, type 2, var. 4 -- 12577 -- 1940

Research has revealed that this is, in effect, a labor award for the Finnish War. He was a plant manager at the Kirovsky zavod (one of the largest and “most revolutionary” of the military factories in Leningrad). He received the Badge of Honor along with 1280 other workers from Leningrad for support of the front line troops during the Finnish War.
