Keith,
do you have the pic of the reverse of the badge? If what Alexei is saying is the case - we should be able to observe sloppy attachments on the reverse. |

Miners Badges 2nd & 3rd Class
Two nice looking Miners Badges. I,ve seen these 2nd & 3rd Class Badges quite often recently but not in the 1st Class.
Are they seldom seen or common? Eddie

It's tough to find any real documentation on their status - oh, it's "findable" but they don't show up in most standard Russian language books on medals and other awards. For that matter, in fifteen years, I've only seen them being worn in photos only once or twice. JHB |

Eddie,
Nice complete set of Miners awards! It appears to be a confusion when we refer to these as Miner's Glory orders. Well, they aren't really orders - these are badges, as astated in the accompanied documents. William |

William,
That's true it is a bit confusing as to what they actually are. This set is part of a group to Nikolaj Petrovich Potapov which also includes a Badge of Honour Order and a newspaper article. Doc1: 1962 - 3. Class Miners Glory No: 166 Doc 2: 1973 - 2. Class Miners Glory No: 22554 Doc 3: 1978 - 1. Class Miners Glory No: 43656 Badge of Honour No: 288811 Awarded: 23.4.1976. Here is the Badge of Honour and Newspaper cutting. Eddie.

Do you think they are real trial samples?
I saw the same set few times listed on eBay. Eric |

I have no idea. Could be one of those "ebay legends", a fake, or the real thing.

Tal, Eric,
I tend to think that these are fakes. I have seen them a few times, usually brand spanking new. I my opinion, they are new production, just like the "Otlichnik" badge series (which, incidentally if you have not yet see them, are also offered in a "raw" state, without enamel and screwpost). Marc |
