Ed_Haynes Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 My only example (I am holding out for a nice documented single or documented group where the international "link" is clear -- talk about being picky!) is the one in that problem child of a "group-that-probably-isn't-a-group" that pops up everywhere.#10705See: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hello,I noticed an interesting detail. I always thought, that original orders have these little noses at the corn ear.Are there two versions?regardsAndreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 That is a very interesting observation! I will have to check mine when I get home. How do the reverse sides to these two medals compare? (rivets and etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

order_of_victory Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Mine is seriel number 32717 and the order book states it was awarded on 02/06/1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolf Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 One of the most complex designs on Soviet Orders indeed! Here is mine, S/N 5099. Any idea of a possible date of issue?According to Shishkov & Muzalevsky, # 4555 would date from 1979, then they jump to # 6405-21172, from 1981. Should I conclude that mine is from 1980?Obverse.Dolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
