    Let's get this complete.

    Based on input I've read sofar, there are three variations:

    A 19 - 9,176 being the screwback, hand-engraved

    B 14,122 - 86,844 screwback, rotating-tool engraved no (mine: 18,691)

    C 59,906 - 60,054 pinback

    I've attached a pic of type B.

    Any types missing? Please add pics!

    Seperate thread to follow for 2nd class.

    These are indeed the 4 main types, this goes for the first class aswell.

    There are however many, many more variations, based on the design style of the "1" or the "2", the opacity of the enamel and the calligraphy of the serial number (for the types with rotating tool serials).

    I have tried to catalogue all the different variations, but lack of items to study, and the bad quality of the photos of the ones I could study, has seriously diminished my courage, let alone my eyesight.

    Maybe one day.... :(

    Just in, a new 2nd class. I won't post it, following Bob's wise advice, unless we really want to try to disentangle the minor sub-varieties. It is #130167 and what I show as a:

    Type 1.2 (Screwback, Mongolian-made); Low = 52404/High = 169768; 1969-85

    The first interesting part is the screw-nut (which, of course, may not be original. Scan attached.
