I would just like to point one thing out about this order. The one illustrated above is a fake. The real obvious thing about it is the engraved serial number. It should be a minimum of six digits with zeros leading for example: 001234 or 000123. I don't have a picture of an original on hand but i know that this is a dead give away. The much larger zero compared to the other numbers also points at being fake.

Cheers

Chris,

You are mistaken.

Six numbers was at Orders which awarded in the USSR.

And it is a transition period Orden. At it can be ONLY four numbers.

The biggest known number - 4101.

Good to know so would you say the above is a genuine example? I'd still not touch one of these with a 10 foot pole as i've hear 99 of 100 that a person see's are fake. Whats your thought on this?
