Yes, you're probably right.

If so then it gives it a bit of history in itself dont you think? I can imagine some pensioner in the mid 1990's selling off this order for a little bread and butter on his table. I once read a story about a HSL selling off his awards just for money for prescription drugs.

Hello guys!

My dad brought this OBH for me from a large militaria market (is this the right word for it in English?), for the people who are familiar with this, it was at Ciney.

SN: 253.817

Can anyone tell me what the approximate dating is for this piece? Or is this impossible? And is there any other info available for this medal? With the help of your website I found out it is a 'type 4 variation 1'.

Thanks in advance!

PS: If you need more/better pictures, please let me know.

In general there are different types of this order. This is the type with ribbon like it was given after 1943, first with a flat reverse.

Maybe this would help: Орден "ЗНАК ПОЧЕТА" - 1

Thanks for the help, MarvWe! Very interesting link (I had to use a website translator though :D). I assume the SN can be a clue for dating?

My guess would be late 1950s. It is a nice award, I like the Badge of Honor for its true socialist appearance.

Thanks Tretov! I agree on the design. I especially like the heroic images on some of the Soviet awards, including this one.

I agree with Tretov too. The badge of honour is together with the Red Banner of Labour one of the nicest awards of socialist Russia. :)

Cool award maybe this order will be the beginning of a great collection for you. Once you get one order must get the rest! Ans then work on different variations good luck!

Dwayne,

OBH #261258 was awarded on 1 October 1965, so I'd say that yours would probably be somewhere about 1962~3.
