Christian Zulus Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Order of the Patriotic War 2cl - duplicate awardGentlemen,this nice starback with s/n. 46653 has a small "d" (cyrillic letter!) on the rv., as you can make out.I guess, it's one of the rare duplicate awards ?Many thanks for your expertise .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm not sure if this is a duplicate award. The serial number is in range and in the correct engraving style for this type or starback, so it would have been a duplicate award for just a slightly earlier order. Furthermore, I believe the 'д' is usually located just above the serial number, instead of on the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
