it could be interesting to know more about this guy... Natsargdozh is a famous Mongolian author (1907-1937) and Gotoviy could be his son. It seems someone really tried to build his politian carreer as he became a honored KGB staff in 1958 and then entered the high CPSU school...

Lenin's 100 years anniversary. silver 875/1000. produced in 1969-1970 at Leningrad jeweller workshop (it is not possible to observe at your picture but there should be letters "ЛЮ") the 2nd one is clear. the 3d is 300 years ann. of Rear (Logistics) Services of Defence Ministry. it is interested to note when the defence ministry selebrated its 200 y. ann the rear services selebrated 300 y. ann (they count since 1700)

Unfortunately, MONDVOR, I cannot prove it either... I was offered a month ago empty order books, I would try to restore the contact and buy one. If we know what empty books' serial numbers were sold we would have some judgement. I have seen 105*** Crab with filled Order Book and I was sure the book is not a fake but when it was filled is difficult to say... We cannot be sure before it is confirmed by archives... Dima

Comrade Kizyatov during offensive battles for Vilnius liberation 7 July ? 13 July 1944 showed he was courageous and unwaving soldier. During streets? fights he caused great losses of enemy forces by fire of his machine-gun providing his group movement forward. An enemy?s group of submachin-gunners sitting in a building kept a crossroad. Idrisov (that is a mistake: Idris or Ildris is his name, but a person who made the application made a mistake calling him ?Idrisov?) changing his positions he killed the enemy?s submachine-gunners and as a result his group moved forward taking up advantages positions. Deserve of awarding by Order ?Slava? Something like this... (I am not good in translating official papers knowing 200 English words only ) Dima

Defenitely there was an old number below the figures! The figures look like they were made by unprofessional hands. This hand-writing is not professional one from the mint. regards, Dima

As for exact numbers I think MONDVOR knows much more than I do . I guess today 70000 (50%) are issued and 70000 (another 50%) are unissued. The most "popular" numbers at the market today 100000-112000, 137000-139000. The last range is packed in original boxes with printed numbers and they definitely mint-made ones. A few weeks ago I got information that there was a crab #1408**. That would be the highest number I have met if I am lucky enough to buy it... I just bought 139*** to observe and 80000 (!!!) for fun ... Dima
