heusy68 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Hello Gentlemen, It recently came to light this Order of the Red Banner of Labor Type 3 variation 2, number 000985, with award document. What is your opinion about ? Awarded to Ivan Zukhov in Nov 1949 ( not family related to the Marshal of Soviet Union ), document printed in 1948. Weight is 51 Grammes. The suspension ring had never been cut. I'am tantalized, but I never saw a so low number on Red banner of Labor. Regards.

Leaftree Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Interesting piece. The serial number would indicate a screw back award, but this looks to be a Type 3, option 7 if I'm not mistaken (there are several variations that look similar) http://mondvor.narod.ru/ORbnLab2.htm My guess is a replacement/duplicate award? the serial number engraving looks good to my eyes, but why add the '0's before the number 987? I can't comment on the award booklet, those are a minefield to me. I look forward to hearing other opinions on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
