Makers marks, Numbers & Letters
Different numbers have been seen on the reverse of different awards.
See this thread : http://www.soviet-awards.com/forum/s...ht=makers+mark Does a "correspondance" chart of these makers marks exist ? Can we identify them, as it is, for example, the case for the German awards ? Many thanks. Ch. |

Christophe,
This is certainly an interesting topic, but after having an initial look through the web nothing turned up on a list that has been compilied on this subject. And I know of no list which gives the number on the reverse a link to a makers name. We could start by making our own list of numbers that have been sighted on our awards. Maybe in the future we can place a name to the number. For example maker number 7 seems to have been responsible for OGPW's Eddie. Sighted Number - Mint - Award - s/n. 1 - монетный Двор - Nevsky - T2 s/n 9329 3 - монетный Двор - Nevsky - T2 ( Above screwpost) s/n 9558 5 - монетный Двор - Nevsky - T1V3 s/n 5559 5 - монетный Двор - Nevsky - T1V3 s/n 13528 5 - монетный Двор ? - BOH screwback,T2V1 (screwpost) s/n 2947 7 - монетный Двор - OGPW 1st Class, 1st type s/n 13197 7 - монетный Двор - OGPW 2nd Class s/n 48010 7 - монетный Двор - OGPW 2nd Class s/n 56855 7 - монетный Двор - OGPW 2nd Class s/n 70134 7 - монетный Двор - Order of Suworow 3rd Class 7 - монетный Двор - Khmelnitsky 3rd, T1, s/n 1608 7 - монетный Двор - Red Banner of Labor, s/n 182087 8 - монетный Двор -OGPW 2nd Class s/n 47670 8 - монетный Двор - Nevsky - T1V3 s/n 13023 8 - монетный Двор - Khmelnitsky 3rd, T2, s/n 5038. 91 - монетный Двор - Order of Suworow 1st Class, 1st type.

Eddie,
For the list, the award I was referencing also had number "7" from the Moscow Mint, but was a Order of Suvorov 3c. This sounds like an interesting topic. Art

Art,
I've added your number to the list. Certainly very interesting. I wonder why some have makers marks and some not? Eddie.

Maybe a silly question, but when you say Moscow mint did it have ммд on the reverse or монетный Двор? Mints гознак - Administration of the Production of Money or other valuable Documents, this agency printed award certificates for both honorary and meritorious decorations. мондвор - contraction for mint. монетный Двор - mint (for both Moscow and Leningrad) ммд - Moscow mint. ленинградский монетный Двор - Leningrad mint. Eddie.

It was just to ensure that the correct mint is in the list Eddie.

Re: Makers marks, Numbers & Letters
Has anyone seen marks on unnumbered Bravery Medals, specifically a number (1)?
