ARTIFACT:

This is a 1944 USSR Order of the Red Banner Type 3 #101100 Converted to Screwback.
WWII USSR Order of the Red Banner Type 3, #101100, converted to screwback, was awarded on February 25, 1944 by Order of the Day of the Independent Coastal Army to Captain Nikolai Yemelyanovich Guliy, commander of the 89th Independent Penal Company, attached to the 32nd Guards Rifle Division. Captain Guliy's unit was the first to disembark on the Kerch Peninsula, where he inspired his men through personal example. During the fighting to extend the bridgehead at Kerch, Guliy's unit destroyed a significant amount of enemy materiel and killed many enemy troops. During the vicious fighting between January 10 and January 22, 1944, Guliy's company was the first to rush into the heavily fortified enemy lines on two hills. Guliy led his unit from the front, despite heavy enemy artillery and mortar fire. He inspired his men to fight off ferocious counterattacks, inflicting heavy casualties upon the enemy. The company advanced slowly but steadily, inch by inch. The company killed over 200 enemy troops and destroyed 7 firing positions and many other types of weapons.

Guliy was born in 1909 in Krasnodar Province. He joined the army in February 1942 and joined the Communist Party that same year. He was discharged in 1945 and returned to Krasnodar Province, where he worked as head of construction supplies of a machine and tractor station in the city of Temryuk. He was awarded two other awards: an earlier Red Banner in November 1942 and a Medal for Courage in February 1943.

This Order originally came on a five-sided suspension. The recipient apparently removed the ring on the top and added a screw. This was sometimes done for more comfortable wear. In this case it makes all the more sense since Captain Guliy already wore a screwback Red Banner (awarded in 1942). The enamels show considerable wear, and possible repair, but overall the piece is in good condition. The circular screwback plate came from some kind of Soviet badge.

*The other images are pictures of USSR Documents that tell the story of the award, in Russian, and are included for historical purposes only, but all the buyer will receive is the medal, we do not have the documents, or hard copies of them, just the electronic images.
