How they were made

[JensF.]

Dear all,

has anyone ever seen photos or descriptions how soviet awards were made in the official mints? I would love to see some photos or read how they were stamped, enameled etc.

There is a thread here somewhere with links to film footage of mint works. Good luck.

Take a look at this movie on youtube.
"Боевые награды Советского Союза - 1941-1991"

Type it in the search-bar and you'll find it.

Many thanks! That was a very nice documentation; unfortunately I did not understood the most of it but the pictures mostly spoke for themselfes. I liked the part where you can see 5 (!) Orders of Victory lying in one row on a table ready to be awarded to Shukov etc.
