    Thanks.

    And the colours of the cases, by the way, are not as different as they look in the photos. A nice rich claret for both.

    Ed,

    What you have is basically the same as the two bronze ones that I posted. A flat backed one with the hammer and torch in relief or a 1964 issue plus the dished silver type which is the 1985 issue. Both have the 1980s style pin on the ribbon so date from that era. I noticed that the document is dated 1988 for the dished type which is correct.

    Regards,

    Gordon

    PS-If you want a copy of the Large Medals Book they are still available for around 9,000.00 to 10,000.00 Forints. We could pick you up one if are interested.

    Thanks Gordon! I am learning. Slowly.

    A copy of the book (expertly translated) is, as they say in India, "just coming". :jumping:

    Extreemly interesting and informative posts on the Order of Labour. I have learned quite a bit from this. However, this may be an elementary question, but what was the criteria for the glod, silver and bronze awards?
