All the seller of this one say for a description is: "Soviet Russian Muslim Republic Badge Medal Order Russia."
Considering the size, I doubt that it is even a copy of the order. This is the only photo and no replies to my questions. Phillip

To be more precisely, CHINEASE fantasy/copy.
They show up rather frequently on our favorite auction site depicting some SSRs, USSR and PRC awards or badges.
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Are now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight The Who, Won't get fooled again

Thanks guys. Considering they only want $14, I knew something was up.

It's a Chinese fantasy loosely based on a 1922 Order of Labor of Azerbaijan.

It makes one wonder just how many pennies the workers who make these are paid each week. Obviously not more than a few. Do we support starving families in China by buying these or are we instigating better quality fakers in the near future???:confused: World economy makes my head spin.....

The old put the penny on the railroad track and then some tourist places take pennies and put them in a press to get a "memento.";) Phillip
