Fake Orders of Labor Glory

[Alfred]

I like the piece. But the upper rivet looks strange.

I have seen the walls before. Here is an example.

Andreas,
thank you for commenting!

I'm under the impression that the original hammer-sickle was re-attached, so that using shortened rivets required re-drilling the holes, thus this strange shape.

Possible Igor.

Is the blue enamel in the midlle of the award made out of glass or plastic?
Did you test it under black light? Did it glow?

I have seen a lot of pieces with very small "air bubles" and very small black spots" in the blue enamel.

best regards

Hi,

saw this set a while ago on e*#y, please let me know what you think.
Looks fine to me, but i was wondering why the first class looked overall ... "different" then the rest, even though its from the same set. different overall condition and patina on the back, also I'm a little nervous about the "0" of the serial number. Please let me know.

And here some more pictures. Again, the condition of the II.nd and IIrd class seems identical and the Ist class just oddly sticks out somehow.
What do you think?

Once again I ask;

What was ths set supposed to be awarded for?

[Shocktrooper]

Due to the internet the set was awarded to/for "Sokol V. I. - Machinery operator at Zaporozhye factory "Kremniypolymer" (“Silicon- polymer”) of the Ministry of chemical and petroleum-refining industry of the USSR.He was awarded with 1st class of Labour Glory “for outstanding achievements in
increase of labour productivity, big personal contribution to manufacturing
of high-quality production, active participation in development and use of new technical equipment and progressive technology.”

Just received these scans from a fellow collector. This piece is a fake. The small section to the left of the tower is hot enameled. :nono Oh, and the serial number is way off.

I`ve seen the same one this weekend; the price should have been 900,- $ US :laff

The hot enamel looks quite nice; but it doesn`t make it a genuine piece of course :rolleyes:

But as a space filler... why not !?

And another one... with ugly smeared artificial patina !

This OLGII is currently on the big auction site.
I've been chasing one for awhile now for my collection.
I believe this is a fake, am I on the right track?

Blue enamel present that shouldn't (see pic with red circle)
Serial number out of range for OLGII.

It comes from a seller who usually sells some solid stuff.
