I have a very nice and 100% original A.Newky Order type 2,
For one thing, it would be very interesting to see it (Nevsky) in the forum, and before repairing it, be sure it is original...

Very interesting, they deserve the Orders section
Mikoyan,
IMHO, I like more as they are, without being repaired.

I bought order of Red Banner without its ribbon. I think it is not bad about this 'Repair'.
Anyone have knowhow to place a new ribbon on suspension perfectly like original?
I've tried before myself, but it was not good in the end. Ribbon loosed and wrinkled.

A Red Banner award that is 30-60 years old should have old ribbon.
I may have one spare if interested :thumbsup

:wow I have heard that nowadays some guys destroy Soviet awards this way to pretend an "interestig story" behind. But nevertheless it is worth a research I think. I have a similar looking item, which was found with shrapnel damage too. (see image)

I have been thinking about some "naked" early, pre-5 sided kolodki Medals for some time. Formerly featuring the rectangular hanger but currently with no suspension at all. If an early award was "updated" by the recipient I leave it alone but I've been considering adding reproduction (high quality but not pretending to be original by any means) Kolodki to the currently naked Medals for display purposes.
I was wondering if any other forum members have had the nakedness issue and how they combated it.
The reproduction rectangular suspensions (with screwplate) are £5 each.

My apologies if I missed a thread or post, but I was unable to find any threads or posts indicating information on the trimming of overly long threaded posts for Soviet badges. I have noticed the stock/unissued badges tend to have longer than 10mm length that would damage a dress shirt with regular wear in uniform, so was it common to have then cut down to a flush fit with the screw-back at the length set at installation of the uniform? Or were they left at issued length and the resulting damage to the uniform shirt underneath just stoically endured and a replacement purchased when a hole was inevitably worn through them from the constant wear? Thanks.

It all depended on the recipient's taste. Some got cut off all together, some completely untouched.
Here is a ground dug example of an award - Red Star,0968393,Section Instructor,Universal Military Training,Latvian SSR - It was unearthed in Latvia.
