    Great looking set you have there Bob... Too bad I don't have the badges to go with the docs.. Well the search is on!!

    The best I can do is a picture of the lady above wearing her udarnik and a ribbon bar for what looks like the order of combat valour and something I can't make out....

    Seems a little unusual to me but I might be wrong.

    I'd say the ribbons are probably a honorary labour medal and maybe an OPS.

    Though as happened before, I might be very wrong

    Didn't fit on the scanner and I was lazy.

    Now updated with interior.

    Just got an identical document (as part of a larger group of documents). No reason to show it, but it may be useful to record the date of award as 30 December 1954. Maybe we're seeing a narrow window here?

    After some more discussion here (and in Ulanbaatar), may I offer a revised typology:

    Type 1 (mirror reverse, thin silver gilt) - Low = 180; High = 5009

    Type 2 (flat reverse, silvered bronze) - Low = 16; High = 961

    I'd almost be tempted to see the flat-back as earlier? In the absence of number/date matches it is hard to say.

    1954 seems to be a big Udarnik year indeed. Here another (partial) scan of a document I recently received (part of a larger group). Would appear that text on upper half indicates the reason for awarding.

    I have in my collection N 16 (mirror reverse). I not can upload my file.... :banger: Sorry, look at this: http://aaaa.MoiFoto.ru/17069/f363057

    Thanks Sparks - really would be great if you could post detailed pics of your big collection here on GMIC (also of documents) - I'm sure it would help us (and maybe you as well) to learn new things and/or just enoy the great items you have :cheers:

    Sparks,

    If you are having problems uploading your pictures it may be because of the size. There is a rather small size limit for new member. Unfortunately,I can not remember what this size limit is. Perhaps someone else can assist here. There is also a place on the forum where you can practice uloading photos.

    Regards,

    Gordon
