"Military Merit Red Banner" Order. - Nota Bene - 03-16-2006
Guys,
Here's a #4 with a fairly high serial number of 75. Looks worn.

I have here a red banner of Combat, serial number has been slightly covered when they repaired the srcew post.
As best as I can tell it appears to me to be #194
Any help would be appreciated.

Ron,
Looks like 194. Have you thought about trying to carefully remove some of the solder?

A freind of mine has a microscope so I was going to use that first to get a real good close look. I am a little afraid to start scraping away soldier, I don't want to damage it. If I was to remove some soldier, any suggestions as to how to do that?

Here's some eye candy - 3rd RB with s/n 5.
Ron,
IMHO a microscope wouldn't help because even the lowest 100x magnification would be too much. I would suggest a numismatic loupe with 10x-30x.
I would probably take it to a jeweler to have the solder removed.

:wow :wow That's the first time I see a 2nd award, Thanks for sharing Alexei.
I'm in Mongolia rigt now, mixing business with pleasure, but I have little hope of returning home with a beauty like that.
Best regards

Here's an interesting early piece without the "O" or other marks on the back. Serial number is 88.

4th award with s/n 3 - the lowest I have ever seen.

Here's an interesting variation - there is a faint "B" partially covered by the usual "O".
