Soviet Order of the Red Banner of Labour

[Bryan]

I have just added to my collection an Order of the Red Banner of Labour T3 V2 aka Jumbo size. It's nice to observe the differences between this one and the T6.

Reverse

This one is a very good example why it is SO importay actually to handle (and fondle) these things. I have never seen a description (in words or pictures) that made much sense, until I held one of each, in each hand, and then "Oh . . . now I know!"

And a pretty pair they are!

[JimZ]

One of the prettiest IMHO!

Beautiful!

It is one the more attractive orders. I love the deep blue enamel.

I do not have a Jumbo. How difficult are these to find?

I would love a jumbo to go with my T5 and T6

Collect Russia has one for sale at 95 usd which does not seem to bad value wise

Bryan, i have exact the same type with a 116.XXX number. They are indeed very nice. Here are my three, the T6 is with document. I still need a "semi-long-oval"

Nice examples you have there

[Bryan]

Hey Gerd, are your orders 3 different sizes? It looks like so on the picture.

[Gerd Becker]

Bryan, you are right. The left one is a Type 6, the middle one is a "short oval" and the right one is a "long oval".
