Hi warsaw45,

don`t worry - I have got this strangely engraved one in my collection too - maybe this was on Friday afternoon, 1 minute before closing time at the mint :D

With best regards!

Order of the Red Star #425542, replaced enamel 12 & 3, research is pending.

[warsaw45]

Does the enamel look ok on this order ? Has it been repaired or not ? Thanks

[Bill Garvy]

Yes, and can not determine from scan/photograph. . .

Any clearer ?

Obviously listed on "e" but couldn't find it listed with that vendor. Regardless, no, I am still unable to determine of the enamel is replaced or original. Would need to see high resolution scans/photographs, or better still, an in-hand examination with magnification. Generally you can tell if the order is held in the right light. The replaced enamel will have a discernible difference in opacity.

ok....I purchased it for $55. Will try and get decent pic of it when it arrives.
Thanks for your posts Bill ( ORS no: 1162151)

$55 in 2016 usually buys a researched Red Star. Hopefully you'll post the research too!

I've not got one researched for $55 yet.....where do you buy yours from ? ;) This is without research
