Re: Order of the October Revolution
Should be gold as far as I know. On the older one-rivet versions (one rivet on the H&S I mean, four total on the order), the damn thing can sometimes come lose and rotate a bit, but it should be gold. It also has a bit of a "step" on the backside of the H&S to make it fit at that angle.

Re: Order of the October Revolution
Thanks for the response! I thought it was gold, but I saw on one website that they just said it was gold plating.
Cheers, Will |

It's gold, silver and palladium alloy or 375 gold.

October Revolution LOW#
Just wanted to share with you all my October Revolution Var.1 #6335
Could a number this low have been rewarded to someone of importance? Or maybe a institution of some kind? Enjoy! Last edited by RedBanner1920; 11-01-2010 at 05:28 PM. |

Re: October Revolution LOW#
Very nice - both of you.:thumbsup These are one of my favorite orders next to the Order of Friendship, though I like the simplicity of the former as much as the complexity of the latter.
It will be a great day when both of these can be researched since I think the citation of merits for why the orders were give will be very interesting reading from an historical perspective. Phillip

Re: October Revolution.
I just got off the phone with a gentleman, a native Russian who immigrated to the US in the 70s. He is sending me pictures of an Order of October Revolution, WITH DOCUMENTS, later today. He is asking $575 for it.
I will post pics as soon as I get them, got a Medal For The Defense of Moscow from him earlier today. Any thoughts on the price, depending on the condition, number, variation of course? ANY ADVICE AND HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED.
