Patriotic War.

The consensus seems to be definitely a converted suspension piece. Which specific type, however, is beyond my knowledge.

Here is one I got many years ago. It came in a polish (!) case:

It is certainly a Polish medal case, but it has been interestingly re-used.:thumbsup

Is there any reason to suspect that it was indeed issued to a Polish recipient? Research?

[Al-muell]

It is not official, that's for sure. I also find it hard to belive that anyone would get an attachable ribbon bar with the award - that would be something most unusual in Poland and from what I know the bars in the USSR were mounted by the recipient him/herself.

However, it would be nice to learn if it was indeed given to a Polish national and cased by that person.

HI,

i would like to know if this Order of the Patriotic War is original.
it seems to be an original example of version V6.1.6 (with 'Flatback', large mintmark).
Range number: 765001-877500 [total issued: 112500] 08/17/1945.
Am i right?

Looks good to me.

Hi,

By reading one of CtahhR and Lapa's posts, we can notice that Orders of the Patriotic War, 1985 edition, have been produced by several mints and makers.

Here it is:

This could be a good opportunity to progress together on this subject of knowledge.

Marc (Lapa), CtahhR, others, could you share what you know about these mints & makers ? :thumbsup

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers.

I believe с небольшими сокращениями и с ре is a good start.
There certainly is a lot more variation and markers that just "with and without hollow".

Thanks CtahhR.

This is a start. I'm sure there are a lot more info to grab about these "easy to pick up" Soviet awards... :thumbsup

Cheers.
