Krzysztof,

According to Mondvor, it is Type 6, Variation 2, Subvariation 2, but that does not take into account your "silver" H&S.

As far as I know, all the gold on any Red Banner of Labor is plating- no solid gold parts on this order (at least as far as I am aware). The only explanation I can come up with (and this is pure conjecture) is that the plating has been rubbed off intentionally (why, I have no idea, but I have seen instances of where an area of plating "comes-up" and people tend to "fiddle" with it until all the plating has been removed... nervous twitch, I suppose), the H&S missed the gold plating stage of production (either a Monday- hangover- made order or a Friday- I've got to get the hell outta here- made order) or that the H&S has been replaced at some point. As this is the area of the order that protrudes farthest, it would logically be the area that would take the most punishment- scratches, gouges, etc. Again, pure conjecture.

Greg.
I have little experience in this field, but I don't agree with you.
I'm attaching two types of this order so you can compare .
In my opinion it is a unique type or some one replaced H/S.
You can see on the back the rivets are larger, on the front H/S is silver and is a little smaller compared to the other type.

Krzysztof,

You need to compare orders in the same range. The ones you show are from different mints.

Hi!

It's nothing so special- just a common Type 6, Variation 2, Subvariation 2, like Lapa said. Gold is just worn or polished off from this silver made hammer and sickle. I have seen it also on other serial number ranges.

BR,
