Order For Service to The Motherland

[Noor]

Hi all,

I am planning to sell this award but before I stick it up for a sale I would like to hear a second opinion about it's originality. I am pretty sure it's a good piece and one another expert of Soviet awards confirmed the same. But because it's not the cheapest order I would like to hear an opinion of the forum members as well.

If extra photos are required then just please let me know.

Thanks

Needing some more opinions?Here you are-this order is original but not an awarded piece.

Mine with number 136807.

To you know how many were awarded and how many produced in total?

Did most of the stock ended up on the market?

Also I can be mistaken

137339 - Ноябрь 5, 1990

with number 137339 was awarded in 1990.

I bought mine  136807 probably in 1995?

Russian collectors write they have not met pieces  with numers over 140xxx?

Not having the Soviet orders with the order booklet we can only guess.
