Makers marks, Numbers & Letters

Different numbers have been seen on the reverse of different awards.

See this thread :

http://www.soviet-awards.com/forum/s...ht=makers+mark

Does a "correspondance" chart of these makers marks exist ? Can we identify them, as it is, for example, the case for the German awards ?

Many thanks.

Ch.

Christophe,
This is certainly an interesting topic, but after having an initial look through the web nothing turned up on a list that has been compilied on this subject.
And I know of no list which gives the number on the reverse a link to a makers name.
We could start by making our own list of numbers that have been sighted on our awards. Maybe in the future we can place a name to the number.
For example maker number 7 seems to have been responsible for OGPW's

Eddie.

Eddie,

For the list, the award I was referencing also had number "7" from the Moscow Mint, but was a Order of Suvorov 3c. This sounds like an interesting topic.

Art,

I've added your number to the list. Certainly very interesting. I wonder why some have makers marks and some not?

Eddie.

Art,
Maybe a silly question, but when you say Moscow mint did it have ммд on the reverse or монетный Двор?

Mints

гознак - Administration of the Production of Money or other valuable Documents, this agency printed award certificates for both honorary and meritorious decorations.

мондвор - contraction for mint.

монетный Двор - mint (for both Moscow and Leningrad)

ммд - Moscow mint.

ленинградский монетный Двор - Leningrad mint.


Eddie.

It was just to ensure that the correct mint is in the list

Strange

Guys,

Notice that at the moment only OGPW's and Suworow's have numbers or letters. And they are all from монетный Двор

Is this the start of a pattern? Or just coincedence?
Surely this is bound to change.

BTW I'll edit all numbers and letters into post #2

Eddie.
