Should be gold as far as I know. On the older one-rivet versions (one rivet on the H&S I mean, four total on the order), the damn thing can sometimes come lose and rotate a bit, but it should be gold. It also has a bit of a "step" on the backside of the H&S to make it fit at that angle.

Thanks for the response! I thought it was gold, but I saw on one website that they just said it was gold plating.

Cheers,
Will

It's gold, silver and palladium alloy or 375 gold.

Just wanted to share with you all my October Revolution Var.1 #6335

Could a number this low have been rewarded to someone of importance?
Or maybe a institution of some kind?

Enjoy!

Yes, it could have.

Very nice - both of you.:thumbsup These are one of my favorite orders next to the Order of Friendship, though I like the simplicity of the former as much as the complexity of the latter.

It will be a great day when both of these can be researched since I think the citation of merits for why the orders were give will be very interesting reading from an historical perspective.

I just got off the phone with a gentleman, a native Russian who immigrated to the US in the 70s. He is sending me pictures of an Order of October Revolution, WITH DOCUMENTS, later today. He is asking $575 for it.

I will post pics as soon as I get them, got a Medal For The Defense of Moscow from him earlier today.

Any thoughts on the price, depending on the condition, number, variation of course?

ANY ADVICE AND HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Yep, just one: too expensive!
