Type 5 Order of Lenin

[GODISHIGH]

Hello, I believe this to be a Type 5 Lenin Order for Long Service.  From the pictures i'm pretty sure its a genuine piece but any other opinions would be appreciated

Thanks

This is not a superannuation. 302*** has already been awarded under the Decree of 11.01.1957 for virgin land

I don't understand what you mean.  The number is 327*** not 302***

Thanks

"Elementary, Watson." The number 327*** was awarded after the number 302***. The award for seniority was made until December 1956. Number 302* * * was awarded in January 1957. Continue further, or can you guess?

  This is not a Type 5.  It is a Type 6 made in the Leningrad Mint.

 

Thanks for helping clarify Simius Rex. One question, who are you using for distiguishing different types?

Regarding the actual time of awarding.

Not every order of Lenin was issued in the chronological sequence.

 

For example.

 

 

306 173 was issued on May 28, 1966

356 899 was issued on June 12, 1959

 

 

Both orders were issued to the very same person.

As noted elsewhere, replaced suspension & ribbon, otherwise original.

Hello, I got this Order today and I always do a check on the gold Karat when I get a gold order.  I do the acid test and when I tested it with the strongest acid I have (22KT gold) it dissolved the gold.  I tested with 18KT and it doesn't dissolve the gold.  This points to the gold not being between 18-22KT instead of the 23KT.  I thought that all Lenin's were 23KT Gold.  I had a Lenin a while ago and it tested to at least 22KT with the acid test.  Am I missing something and not all Lenin's are 23KT Gold?
Thanks
