Andrew has s/n. 10142 on his website: http://mondvor.narod.ru/HLab.htmlThe small nut on the screw at the hanger is missing .Is it possible to tell the year or period, when HSL 10852 had been awarded - around the year 1960 ?When did the chance from variation 2 to variation 3 (s/n. 10000) took place ?Many thanks for your expertise .Best regards Christian Edited February 17, 2008 by Christian Zulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Zulus Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Very nice example I would think its more mid 60's as mine is 7925 and this was awarded in 1958 Dear Vic,many thanks .In my opinion, the HSL is a very unique and outstanding award:On one side the HSL is the most supreme (civil) award of the CCCP - to be compared with a British KBE. The title HSL was something like a "Socialist Knighthood".On the other side it is a 100 % democratic award, because it was awarded to collective farmers and factory workers as well, as to renowed scientists, artists or top Politburo members.It's difficult to find informations (in English) about that unique medal in the internet :http://mondvor.narod.ru/HLab.htmlhttp://www.bmstu.ru/~fvo/data/ussr/ordens/high/herosoc.htmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_of_Socialist_LaborBest regards ChristianBTW: Gorbachev http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Gorbachev never received a HSL - and that was somehow correct ...
