RBoL 272xxx wouldn't have been made until after 1951 and before 1954 looking at the production lists. Isn't this a large gap between a Ukaz dated 1950 and an award not minted until maybe a few years after?
Or am i mistaken?
Is there anything to tie this Serial Number to this Ukaz?
No booklet order just came with the document which is genuine, maybe the award was issued after the certificate was, my knowledge on labour awards is limited, just thought it was an interesting document. it was brought from a good dealer who I have used often over the years and never had any issues

Kiwi, without the order book there is unfortunately no proof of any sort that this order and document are connected. Also, Tommy's observation about the serial number range is spot on. I agree it's an interesting document, but again, it's not a group.
I have never seen a duplicate with a hand engraved mintmark... The strangest thing here is that the mintmark was engraved by a different hand than the SN.
The CCCP does look unusually pronounced from the field of red enamel to me. I'm not sure if it is due to camera angles or production techniques but it does seem noticeable.
