Communist Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class "141048", Krasnokamsk

[Mannequin]

Hello,

I want to show you this soviet order of the patriotic war, 2nd class with number: 141048. It's marked with Krasnokamsk.

What do you think about it?

It's a priced decoration of world war 2 or of post war, after 9.5.1945 ? And do you know more about the number? A date?

Thanks and best regards

Nice and relatively scarce OPW2 variation. It was most likely awarded in the spring of 1944.

What do you mean when you say "It's marked with Krasnokamsk."?

By the way, from the picture it seems that the mint marks have been pouched twice and superimposed. Am I right?

Thanks

It's marked with Krasnokamsk.

Besides going to the datation tables with the serial number, do you see any other physical indication that this order was manufactured in Krasnokamsk?

I ask for my education, If there is any hallmark of KMD on their orders I would like to learn. In this one a cannot see any other marking than the usual MONET'NI DVOR.

Thank you

Of course there is no special mark for KMD

According to the known mint documentation OGPW II with numbers 135 001-170 000 were manufactured by Krasnokamsk mint.

As for the physical indication - only reverse form that is typical for KMD.

What we have here is so-called "star" (by reverse relief ) variation.

Cheers,

Nick
