The documents:

Presumably awarded for 25 years of service in 1973 (along with the Order of Labor), but it is undocumented.

For 20 years of service, 29 January 1969.
-- Order of Labor, 3rd Class / Ordinul Muncii Cl. III type 2 “RSR”

-- Order of Military Merit, 3rd Class / Ordinul “Meritul Militar” Cl. III, type 1 “RPR”

Being large and rolled in their original tubes, the documents are difficult to scan nicely. Sorry.

Outstanding group! A perfect example of the importance of documents... the orders alone are not rare at all, but with the documents they are virtually untouchable. Well done!:thumbsup
