I need some info on MMM T1V3 that is serial #523927. I am selling this medal and recieved an e-mail saying that this piece cannot be a T1V3 as the highest known SN is 470214 so my piece is a T2V1 that was coverted. I don't have my research books right now as they are somewhere between Kansas and Korea and need to know if this medal is good. I bought this medal along with others in 2000 from a well known and respected member of this forum and believe without a doubt that he knows his stuff. Thank you for any help,

Bryan

Hi Bryan according to both Avers 6 and the Mondvor site:

The Variant 4. It is similar to the previous variant, however a medal thin. Thickness of a medal approximately 2,2 mm. Weight of a medal - 25,6 g (with kolodkoj, but without a nut). Minimal known number - 234680, maximal - 470214.

Upon further reading of both references it would appear possible your number is OK as there is some overlapping of the numbers between the pentagonal hangers and the type 1 hangers. Referring to number 553751 as the starting point for the type 2 and also noting a lowest known number for type 2 on pentagonal hanger as 347664.

Hi Ron,
Thank you for the info. I never had any doubt about this piece and whay's funny is that it seems my doubter is pulling his info from the same place as you. I would post a scan, but still have not mastered the skill of making it small enough for the site. If anyone would like a scan please pm me. Thanks,

Bryan

At the base of the suspension there is an engraving. Can anybody tell me what it is?

Regards,
Mike

Mike,

Is it engraved or just written on the suspension ?
