Just to be sure and sleep well, what do you think about this Order of Glory 2nd class?

I have never seen a number inscribed like that... I would be leary. Lets see what others think.

Do you mean handwriting or positioning of the number?

Or maybe this gap between 7 and 9 is worrying you ...

I can try to take better photos.

Hi,

Yes, those are the issues I have. I do not know enough to say that the number has been messed with or replaced onto the original order, but I have not seen another number applied in this manner.
