Its a step up from MZPP red stars!

Glories would be quite difficult to engrave, if you make one number too big, you'll run out of space very quickly!

It happens more easily than most imagine.

Also a rotating tool can be very difficult to control. Many times I practised engraving brass plaques for coffins before being able to put tool to fresh piece of brass.

I wonder how many awards were defaced by a poor job and then smelted.

There are worse ones out there... At least this one is still legible...

Interesting question! Does anybody know persons who were engravers? Is there a forum section which covers this?

I would appreciate any opinion about this Slava-2, which I assumed original but was not able to properly classify it by Mondvor "encyclopedia". Despite of heavy wear it suffered, the double window is still visible.

Steer clear of this "beauty" that just popped on the well-known auction site. BIN price is $14,500.00.

Gents,

Ref post #708 above, just noted that after a couple of listings with no takers, he's relisted with a new BIN price of $9800.00.

It's now at $9,600 and still dropping.

The rarely seen triplet variant is now on the well-known auction site. These babies could be yours for a mere BIN price of $119.00.

Sure, here it is.
Andreas, maybe you can help me to classify it? (if it's real, of course)
Thank you in advance!
