Freedom And Independence Order 2nd Class.

I love that order too, it´s very nice :)
I´ve only seen soviet produced versions of these. How much are korean made ones going for?

Well, I have answered myself the upper question. I got this at an auction and arrived last week. :) Wasn´t cheap, but not expensive either...
It´s a later version, but still the enamel quality is much higher than common awards. I had to clean this one (rinsing it with some vinegar and gently brushing it to avoid losing the patina), so the center detail -nevertheless rather poor- could be seen.

The banner inscription reads: "Jo-guk-eul Ui-ha-yeo" (For the motherland).

Note the weapon the soldier behind the leading officer is an AK rifle. Can´t tell which one is shown on the soviet version.
