    I love this document with the photo... but looks like an early document and suspension mis-matched to a much later type of Second Class Order!

    The plot thickens..... now that I have this in-hand what I see is a probably correct transitional award. The Order itself is thin, hot enamels with a stippled back. I have only one other example like this. The other example is mounted on a later aluminum suspension.

    This new piece looks like it's been together forever:

    Here's where it gets real interesting.... this page from the Order's Book was not shown by the seller.... he received this award in 1969.

    He also received a 9th September in 1974!

    So.... we have a very early styled Order's Book being used in 1969 & added to in 1974! Now my (Truly) Evil Twin? believes that these were jubilee awards given the years awarded. So, we then must wonder was he a war invalid? A party member? What else did he receive that is out there loose?? I guess we'll never know for sure.

    In the interim, I will look for a nice cased 9th September to complete the pair...
