Among all jubilee OPW’s orders only small portion of the 2^nd class orders was marked. It looks like all marked orders are located in diapason between 2 673 401 – 2 900 000. All these orders were manufactured by КЯК (Калининградский янтарный комбинат/Kaliningrad Amber plant).

Interesting that sometimes technical mark could be found next door to serial number or even inside serial number. Take a look at these two examples.

Half “X”

Isosceles “L” (we saw this one before )

Ot maybe it is void "T"?
