What happened here? Complete re-enamel job? Colorblind Baltic Mint™ workers? Too much vodka? :chuckle
Serial #223418

Appears to be original base with reenameling "enhancements"(?):)

Hi all,

I just received the OPW II which I bought some time ago. It is a converted award with a low serial number. My question is the following: I received it with a screw plate which is not usual for this order (not the standard silver one). I this due to the fact that this order is converted? If so, should I keep the screw plate with this order or replace it with a silver one? Btw, the screw plate is 2,5 cm in diameter.

Thanks!

(Reminder to all, post all pictures on the forum)

Do NOT replace the nut. It appears that this low s/n was originally on a suspension, then the owner took the suspension device's "hardware" and soldered it to the reverse of the body. A most interesting piece!

Itd be really nice to see some research on this piece!

I agree with Paul completely. Leave it as it is - all the parts are original, just "rearranged".

Research would be a good idea.

Thanks for your advice and I'll definitely leave it as it is! I would love to do some research on this order but I don't know where to start... My Russian, to begin with, is not as it used to be... ;-)

...what is a correct screw plate for this order?
where can I find 1945 original screwplates?...

Sergio,

The screwplate is original.
