Mikuláš,

  Unfortunately, the Order of Glory First Class is a reproduction and not an authentic piece.  Additionally, there is no record of OGI serial number 2412 ever having been produced/awarded which makes the OGII, OGIII and Ordenskaya Knizhka in this "set" similarly bad.

nickstrenk, 

  The word reproduction as I've used it here means something meant to deceive - it is not an official mint-issued duplicate.  To call it a fake is also accurate.

  You would have to have a jeweler test the metal to confirm whether it is actually gold.  It is then up to you to decide how you want to dispose of the OGI.  Selling it for its pure gold content alone would be an option.  

  None of the three OG serial numbers listed in the OK match those awarded to Malikov, Nikolay Ivanovich.

I will do it again.I visited the goldsmith at least 3 times and he made the examination on the stone using acid.But not пробу .So the accurate word is  фуфло,is not it?

nickstrenk,

  Yes, the Russian word "фуфло" is an accurate description.

I would also add, that the handwriting stile in the award booklet is not convincing at all, and reminds me of a a student handwriting from 1990s. Not a hard evidence, but one should also have in mind nonetheless.

For those wondering "фуфло" translates to 'garbage'.
