Order of Labour 2nd class (early screwback version) - Yugoslavia

[BalkanCollector]

I decided to create this topic to share my early Order of Labour 2nd class, a rare screwback version with a low number. I hope to turn this topic into a small forum database of this order (only screwback versions) since these are getting harder and harder to find so if you have one and if you're willing to share it with the community, feel free to post some pictures. Also, what's the highest number you've seen on these? The highest I've seen was in a #1,6XX range. 

 

Here's my boxed example numbered #462. It came in a group of the holder of the Partisan Remembrance Award 1941 but sadly, the document for the Order of Labour 2nd class is missing. The good thing is that the box is numbered.

Is it solid silver or no ?

[BalkanCollector]

Unfortunately no. Until recently I thought they were, even though they don't have any silver hallmarks but a fellow forum member pointed out to me that these aren't in fact made of silver.

 

Here's another early second class of this order posted by Paja, numbered #411.

Also, I check on ebay, and this variant in your photo is cheap.

 

May be rare, but is cheap in market.

Those that are currently offered on ebay are all 3rd classes and I don't see any 2nd class of this early type for sale. Those early 3rd classes are cheap and would be in the entry level collector's range. The early 2nd classes aren't that cheap but they also aren't too expensive either but they aren't that easy to find.

An example of the Order of Labor, II Class with screw back, number 460.  Just two numbers different than the one that Balkan Collector posted.
