Korean Labour Order.

[CtahhR]

Here is Type 4 Variation 4. This Variation is completely lacking the serial number line.

[CtahhR]

Here is Type 4 Variation 5. This variation has the serial number line but is lacking the "excess" between the tools on the reverse.

[CtahhR]

Here is Type 5 Variation 1. This Order alike nearly all the others also has been "lightened" in recent years.

[CtahhR]

Here is Type 5 Variation 2. This variation is a slightly different colour and has "bubbles" underneath the enamel on the front.

[CtahhR]

This particular Korean Labour Order Type 5 Variation 2 did not quite make it to the end of the production line. The "bubbles" on the banner awaiting the enamel can be very clearly observed.

I have the Type 1, Korean Labour Order. The order was awarded to a Mongolian. SN 884. Indeed a beautiful order.

[Pobeda45]

Absolutely beautiful. I hope to have one some day.

This Type 4 Variation 6 is for those of you who love micro-variations. This variation differs from the fifth as the very last character in the very last cluster is connected to the character above it. In the previous variant the two characters are distinctly(?) separate.

The wedge is getting thicker! (Or "The Nips Are Getting Bigger" as this is Mental As Anything)

This fake is offered for $6, rather redundant when original Orders can be picked up for $1.

This fake is very obvious but on top of the sloppy work it also pretends to be a Soviet made screwback. The "Chosun" Types were never made in the Soviet Union nor were they anything but pinback.

I'd love to acquire such a type 1 (at a reasonable price) if anybody has one available. Would be a nice 'souvenir' to remind me of my recent trip to DPRK.
