It is a nickle-silver like hard metal, so weakly gilt that it appears NOT to be gilt at all except in certain light and depending on whether it is scanned (very silvery looking) or photographed (the gilt shows better then). the obverse center disk is a separate piece with a painted star. Typical Chinese coiled wire tubes and pin reverse.

Electrical Engineering branch Guards Major Vasily Timofeevich Karambirov of the 1st Guards Anti-Aircraft Searchlight Regiment had this photo attested on 12 January 1954. That's a pretty good way to date it! :thumbsup

It's the Order of Liberation, 3rd class. It cost me RMB2000(around US$250). I think I paid too much for it, but sometimes I am out of control, if I really want to get it. The reasonable range is from rmb1000-2000, depends on the condition of medals. For this one, the condition is average.

You see, I am a sophomore of college student and my English is not very well. So I only translated some information of Chinese orders. Hope it is not so bad.

(Though I am 21 years old I have been collecting for more than 5 years.)

The following picture is a fantastic group.
