Řád Kim Ir-sena

Order of Kim il-sung

Orders and honours of the earth, which we call North Korea are in our terms and conditions of the almost unknown although in time, when the 38. the parallel of the fighting was several czechoslovak officers-observers in the mission, which was to supervise the ceasefire between the divided Korea. Even our field hospital she worked in the territory controlled by the communist regime, and several officers, civil workers (doctors and nurses) received high orders for merit in the field of care for the wounded soldiers.

It will not be from things you some orders at least in the pictures to zoom in.

Medals of the country in the initial period opting for your pattern of the Soviet union, and by so many orders of magnitude, albeit with other names, evokuji orders and decorations of the USSR.

The first procedure, which we imagine is order dedicated to the great leaders Kim il-senovi.

The order is the highest distinction of the country and we distinguish two basic types. The first type is almost identical with the order of Lenin. The center of the medallion with his portrait of the leader privately. Perhaps, for so much the form with the order of the USSR, it soon appears the second type, which at first sight is more impressive. Both schedules can somewhat describe.

l. type:

Oval medallion, which is formed by a wreath of leaves of oak, laurels and klasu grain is at the bottom of the převázaný ribbon on which is the state emblem of the country. In the upper part is a five-pointed asterisk. A round medallion with a portrait of Kim il-sung.

Reverse:
On the back side is perpendicular to the needles to attach to the uniform (civilian clothes is not very in vogue). The Korean inscription and registration or registration number.

2. type:

Obverse:
Řádová decoration takes the form of a shaped star with five longer and four shorter rays. The central medallion, which is embedded in a wreath of klasu grain bears the portrait of the communist leaders, with firm facial features. The wreath is in the upper part of the closed hallmark of the country and in the lower part is převázán ribbon. Overall, this řádový badge in a modern form corresponds to the quality medailérské work.

Reverse:
The reverse side with the inscription, registration or serial number and pin to attach to clothing.

The first types of procedure are made at Leningrad mint (st. Petersburg) from the high-quality embossing in gold and silver. Modern - jewels resemble more costume jewellery. On the attached picture we see a generalitu country literally surrounded own lands decorations..

Sample average the jewel of the so-called I. type.

It is interesting that even these original orders, which have a total great deal of collectible value are sometimes on offer at specialist auctions primarily in the US and Canada..

The order of the "great leader" in its II. type is an interesting drawing of Kim. By comparing the portrait we find that the artist here has created a "superman" party genius with solid features, which Kim never had..

please consider whether to use the garbled Russian transcription (Kim Ir-sen) instead of the original Kim Il-song, i.e. "Order of Kim Il-song"
Thanks
