Interesting one, Jan. What did Alexei and other say to this one, is it a real Duplikat?

Please post the obverse as well

Paul, thats the russian word for "Duplikat"

Paul, thats the russian word for "Duplikat"

And it isn't the normal way of marking a duplicate award (see McDaniel and Schmitt, pp. 377-84). Very unusual. And, to my novice eyes, a cause for concern. Am I right in feeling that way?

Here's my only ORB,

[Gerd Becker]

There were different approaches to mark duplicates of orders. I know of

a) marked "Д"

b) "Duplikat" engraved

c) "D" engraved

d) small stamped serialnumer (sometimes in connection with a)

Nice Darrel Its on my website as an example for a T3V2

Hi Paul,

my bad, i meant the second one, you posted. That is definately a Type 3 with a 1XX thousand serialnumber, but i can?t see the whole number.

You should definately research more of them. The Type 3 is very promising and the 2nd award also in my opinion. Unfortunately the archives don?t get better, so its time now!

Lovely stuff, gentlemen. I am drooling

Hi Gerd,

What did you mean by this one being a rare version. What makes this one different?

The number is: 162 139

Hi Paul,

sorry, i may have worded my reply wrong due to my exitement. I saw the serialnumber of the one, your talking about, in the meantime.

Your 2nd award ORB, Nr. 18.324 is special, as there are only a few observed in this serianumber-range for this particular subvariation. The normal serialnumber-range for this variantion is observed between 85XX to 165XX. Take a look on the mondvor-website, its Type 3 Variation 4 Subvariation 3 there(phew!):

www.mondvor.narod.ru/ORBan6.htm

(takes some time to load)

The serialnumber of your 2nd award ORB is in the area of the next variation, which has the two-line mint-mark.

Know, what i mean?
