Looks like a heretofore unknown variant to me.Regards,slava1stclassSlava,I'd love to see better scans of this order, especially of the medallion, but so far, my opinion leans toward Orders in this serial number range, and all later ones were of the type with the clock showing either 9:05 or 9:00. The flat clock face is an earlier variant, and highly unlikely to be.Marc Edited September 2, 2008 by Lapa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd steer clear, looks like a bad copy to me.Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
