    Honorary Medal of Labor


    Recommended Posts

    We have individual threads for most of the awards but not, it seems, tor the two most common, the Honorary Medal of Compat and the Honorary Medal of Labor. Why not start them?

    What Jan and I show, subject to revision and correction, is:

    A 38.1/M 21.1 - Type 1.1 (Screwback, Uigur, numbered ?No.?); Low = 214/High = 985; 1941-??

    A 38.1/M 21.1 - Type 1.2 (Screwback, Uigur, SN without prefix, seperately soldered ring); Low = 1569/High = 11953; 1946-56

    M 21.1 - Type 1.3 (Screwback, Uigur, SN with "No" prefix above the SN); Low = 10663/High = 10668; 19??-??

    M 21.1 - Type 1.4 (Screwback, Uigur, SN without prefix, ring part of the medal); Low = 12001/High = 16525; 1961-63

    A 38.2/M 21.2 - Type 2.1.1 (Screwback, Cyrillic, impressed number); Low = 16785/High = 21521; 1966-??

    M 21.2 - Type 2 1.2 (Screwback, Cyrillic, engraved number); Low = ??/High = ??; 19??-??

    A 38.3/M 21.2 - Type 2.2.1 (Pinback, ribbon); Low = 23854/High = 35869; 19??-??

    A 38.4/M 21.2 - Type 2.2.2 (Pinback, enameled ribbon, silver); Low = 737/High = 4892; 19??-??

    A 38.5/M 21.2 - Type 2.2.3 (Pinback, enameled ribbon, silvered bronze); Low = ??/High = 23750; 19??-??

    A 38.6/M 21.2 - Type 2.2.4 (Pinback, enameled ribbon, silvered bronze, unnumbered?); 19??-??

    :Cat-Scratch: The "blank" reverse on that one has a ghost image of the letters from the center obverse as if this was stamped twice-- and turned over!

    [attachmentid=32682]

    It will be interesting to see if this was a "Bad Monday" production batch at this serial number range or one that is literally unique!

    Maybe that's why they added that ugly patterned reverse to Type 2.2.3 and Type 2.2.4??

    :P

    Nice set here - two labor's awarded to the same person - useful also for getting some dates for our researchers:)

    Notice the Uighur one - person applied some solder to fix a broken suspension - gives it more character :P

    And now for the surprise . . . .

    Wadded up in the bottom of the box -- and totally overlooked by the seller :P and, therefore, not seen in detail by me until this very moment -- were additional documents.
