Certainly an un-numbered one, as it's SN is not precised... Ch.

And the original pic... Ch.

Let's recap where we are with this Question #140 : Question #140 Let's stay with the Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the RSFSR... This Order has been created in 1920 to honour citizens, enterprises, organizations, united and autonomous republics, krais, oblasts, autonomous oblasts, regions, cities... for significant accomplshment in industry, science, art, culture, literature, education, social, healthcare and other spheres of labour activity. 163 of these Orders have been awarded between 25 April 1921 and 21 January 1933 (even after the Order of Red Banner of Labour of the USSR existed !!). Amongst these 163, 120 have been awarded to individuals (citizens) and 43 to organisations (the ones mentioned above). One of these organisations has been awarded a rather unique combination of awards (in chronological order) : * Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the RSFSR * Order of the Red Banner * Order of Lenin * Order of the October Revolution. I have taken this pic when I have been received for the first time in this organisation a few months ago. Questions : 1. What organisation are these Orders belonging to ? 2. What is its mission ? Where is it located (exact location)? 3. What is the SN and awarding date of its Order of Red Banner of Labour of the RSFSR ? And for which reason ? Bonus : what are the dates of awarding of its other Orders ? The additional clues are the following : A : Only 10 Red Banner of the RSFSR have been awarded to organisations after the mystery one. B : Gagarin was used to go there... C : Look at the picture below... The first one to correctly answer the 3 questions is the winner... Good hunt and good luck... Cheers. Ch.

So, in my absence, no one to try ? If no progress, I will post an additional clue tonight. Good hunt!!!!! Cheers. Ch.

Hi Bert, I think you posted this message in the wrong section... Cheers. Ch.

As I will be away for a while, I hope the "mystery" will be solved when I come back... and that we will have a winner Cheers. Ch.

You can find a better pic of Trubnikov, here, in post #754 : http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3144...ikov&st=740 Cheers. Ch.

Hi Christian, None of them... Now, you all have enough hints to find. The best way to proceed would be to get the complete list of the 163, and you should find... This list exists, and has been published... I have it !! But where ? Mystery... Cheers. Ch.

No one ? Ch.

Maybe it is part of slava1stclass's collection ? What I wish to him... Ch.

Hi Darrell, These are scans from Shishkov book "Awards of the USSR" - Vol 4 - 2005 edition - pages 442-444. Cheers. Ch.

This organisation is in the list of the 163. I'll give you an hint : only 10 Red Banner of the RSFSR have been awarded to organisations after the mystery one. And another hint that should help A LOT : Gagarin was used to go there... Ch.

Not bad, not bad... but, what about the black letters ? Enamel or paint ? Ch.

This week, I have even seen a Lenin 100th Anniversary Medal openly proposed for sale in one of the souvenirs sellers shop at the gate of the Red Square... For me that's a first!!! Ch.

He, he!!! Ch.

As you can guess, it is important even today... I have taken the pic in April 2007... Ch.

Why not ?.... Ch. PS : I feel like Brezhnev... awarding myself awards...

Hi Frank, Please, PM me the telephone n?... As would say Christian, I'm the Commander here; so... But, unfortunately, we are here talking about an Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the RSFSR, that would ahve been awarded in... 1963 ?? No, it is not the right answer... The Orders I have mentioned are the only one this oprganisation got. Meaning, only one Lenin... Cheers. Ch.

Auke, Very nice!!! Just replace the hammer & sickle by a big "?" and it will be perfect!!!! Cheers. Ch.

No, no... No red telephone between us... And, Christian , you know how to contact me... but nothing to sell from my side... Cheers. Ch.

Hi Christian, What an imagination!!! The HSA could be nice, at the condition we replace the hammer and sickle by a question mark (?)... Cheers. Ch.

And the pic... Ch. Pic : Avers n?6

Hi Christian, I think it is the Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the Russian Federation of Republics (RSFSR), instituted on 28 Dec. 1920. On it is written "Hero" and "Labour". Here is a bad pic. A better one to follow. Ch.
