    Thanks to Gerd, I now have both Variations of the Order of the Red October Revolution. This one isnt cased or attributed, but doesnt take away from the beauty of this award.

    Also came with it's red presentation box (posted elsewhere, but won't here).

    My Order Booklet is named to Dzmanashvily, David Vasilievitch,

    awarded on April 8, 1971.

    Ed notice that your person is awarded the same day? Must have been a mass award of these on this date?

    I don't have the sheer NUMBERS to be statistically significant, but there SEEMS to have been a PARALLEL bestowal of these in 1971/72, with

    "Group X" in the 1X,XXX-2X,XXX serial number range while simultaneously and seemingly out of numerical order

    "Group Y" was in the 4X,XXX serial number range.

    I have no explanation for this seeming anomaly. I don't SEE such a divergence in numbers being handed out at the same time later on, but then I simply don't have enough of a documented serial number range on these.

    This is a "Polar Star" sort of mystery. SOMEBODY, methinks, shipped out the wrong batch of pre-numbered awards, and they got used out of sequence.

    Thanks Rick. Interesting to say the least. It would be nice to see other ORO booklets to see if there are more on this date :beer:
