National Flag Order 2nd Class.

[CtahhR]

Here is the Order Of The National Flag 2nd Class Type 5 Variation 2. This variation differs from the last as there is a "ᄂ" before the serial number, denoting the second 100,000. This order is from the ᄂ18950-ᄂ18999 range.

[CtahhR]

Three more.

And three more.

And another three.

Great minds run in the same gutter. I was just about to ask that very question. They must mean something, maybe somethging important, maybe not. It will probably require access to the archives to answer this, and that may some time in coming.

Here is an inevitable 12th Variation of the 6th Type. This variation has a completely different and smaller font.

I took apart an early(ish) National Flag Order 2nd Class to see how it was constructed and whilst it was in bits I thought 'd take some photos to share with the forum. This is a Riveted Pin Back type #30230. There are arrows on the two largest parts indicating which way they were to be attached to each other. I had some fun putting it back together again I can tell you!

The taking apart is easy.... and no sharp bits... Putting it back together takes a lot longer and it could be easier to get frustrated and throw the pieces away. I may take some other pieces apart if I get curious again. I've taken some awards apart in my time including a Bulgarian Order Of 13 Centuries Of Bulgaria, which is how I found out they are all numbered just not anywhere that you can see without pulling them apart. "It was a great party until someone found a hammer".

I have a nice collection of numbered National Flag orders (Mainly 3rd Class) and does anyone out there know what order the numbering went when their was a (raised factory made) letter prefix? I Currently only have National Flag Orders 1st Class with numerals only but I have 2nd Classes with numerals only and then also with the prefix ㄴ. When it comes to 3rd Class, I have some serial numbers that are only numerals and then the prefixes: ㄴ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㄹ, ㅇ, ㄱ and also the Latin or Cyrillic A. Do the letter prefixes go in Korean consonant order? and where on earth does a raised A go in the table of events?

After a great deal of research number ordering is as such.

National Flag Order 1st Class Numbered 1-99999 then unnumbered.
National Flag Order 2nd Class Numbered 1-99999 then ᄂ1-99999 then unnumbered.
National Flag Order 3rd Class Numbered 1-99999 then ᄂ1-99999 then ㄷ1-99999 then ㄹ1-99999 then ᄆ1-99999 then ㅂ1-99999 then ᄉ1-99999 then ㅇ1-c110000 then unnumbered.
