Dear Friends,

I want to post my Type1, Variation 1 Distinquished Labour medal. Unfortunately the suspension is later replacement. I'll also try my new 50 $ microsope ;)

Perhaps you could mount it onto a 5-sided brass suspension to make it conform with later awards?

I just received this great booklet from Paul Schmitt! It is the first Labor document I have for my collection. I matched it up with a medal I had floating around.

How can you tell the difference in the booklet types?

Awarded in 1957 to Rukia Abidova, Interesting in part due to the scribbles on the reverse of the ribbon. Any insights?
