Re: Order of the Polar Star
Here's a Type 4 number 16419 which I picked up in 2009 for $25.

Urnukh, by the way, gives some incredibly detailed, archive-based, research in his extraordinary 2010 book. I am still weaving his analysis into my Mongolian work. Much needs re-thinking when it comes to the Polar Star. |

Re: Order of the Polar Star
This is my type 2 variation 2, i'm very proud of it :). Note the control mark "0" at 12 o'clock.

Consecutive Type 2 Polar Stars!
Hi guys,
I've had #499 for a little while, and just acquired #498! What are the odds of that, I am a happy camper! :D Wish research were available for them; I believe both came from Eastern Europe..given to Soviet advisers? Thanks for looking! George Here's #499--came from Alexei a couple of years ago.. |

Re: Consecutive Type 2 Polar Stars!
Excellent find!
I really enjoy the "quirk" of consecutive awards although I don't have any yet (other than those 2 Bulgarian Orders with the same serial due to a mistake of some kind). Three in a row?

Have got something magnificent coming my way - while not consecutive awards, it'll appeal to those collectors who appreciate people who just get a large number of the same award (Polar Stars / Red Banner of Labour in this case) |

Re: Consecutive Type 2 Polar Stars!
When awards are serial numbered it's almost impossible to hoard more than 1 of them. Numbered, Researchable awards really do it for me. There is no chance they can be interchanged or "made up" for the sake of making a quick buck. Award #17 goes with booklet #17 to recipient #17 (or a close approximation).
