The award was modified on 12 December 1924 by a decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union, which replaced the 1920 decree. It expanded the definition of the award to include a personal revolver in addition to the sword. The decree stipulated that the badge of the Order of the Red Banner and a silver plaque inscribed "To an Honorable Soldier of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army from the Central Executive Committee of the USSR" were to be inscribed on the revolver grip. The Honorary Revolutionary Weapon in sword form was last awarded to Stepan Vostretsov, its only recipient under the 1924 decree, on 23 April 1930 for his leadership during the Sino-Soviet War of 1929; no further issues of the firearm form occurred after those for Kamenev and Budyonny. The award never found a permanent place in the Soviet awards system, and the title Hero of the Soviet Union was established in 1934 as the highest distinction of the state. As a commemorative item, in 1968, gilt swords were presented to 26 marshals and generals in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the Soviet Army.
