Hi Dat,
It's pretty difficult to make an informed judgement with such small scans. If you can post larger/more detailed scans, that would help. Marc |

"RARE RUSSIAN SOVIET ORDER OF THE RED BANNER, The order contain manufacturer changed order suspension ring and mark "Monetnij dvor" on reverse below of the order and serial number 82163. 90% original finish. " Front view: Reverese. Note the serial number and the center of the order.

Your piece falls within the normal serial # range 80.000-84.000 for similarly done pieces, presumably done at the mint to comply with the new awarding regulations and convert screwbacks to suspension red banners. Your photos aren't the best, but it doesn't look tampered with. The blow-up you did of the suspension ring looks a little unusual (no wear, patina, and gold-plated?), but without handling it, IMHO it's probably OK.

Tal,
I am also guessing it's OK, just a little unusual. I believe they used lead solder to attach the loop, and it should be darker than the silver medal itself unlike on this scan. Apparently most of those pieces were converted before the screwpost was atached, but I have also seen one with clear indication that the screwpost was attached and later removed. BTW, Russian collectors call this conversion "dove-tail". Alexei Last edited by Nota Bene; 11-13-2004 at 05:29 PM. |

This "dove tail" - lastockin xvost - is quite rare variation. This one on Ebay is fake. The part itself as well as the loop attached to the order was very thin. Almost twise thinner that on the scan. It's very likely they cut out and attached the piece from the original suspension Red Banner to make this variation.

Eugene,
I am not sure I understand, do you mean that the scan was doctored? Quote:

Rusty,
Maybe I can't see all the details on my monitor (or need to clean it more often :)), but could you please explain. I thought the correct MM for this variation was stamped with two stamps in one line, could be slightly curved or not. Alexei Quote:
