It looks much better now, neat job! But I disagree about the "sex" determination of this order. It is definetely a boy, so we should say "him", not "her" :laff

....this morning and a lot of time on my hands.
Therefore I present a side by side, before and after, Photoshop-enhanced image of Dat's baby. I hope Dat doesn't mind.

Looks pretty nice now that it's cleaned up. There's a fair amount of enamel left--seems like replacing the enamel would be like throwing out the baby with the bathwater, if you will. Personally, I'd leave it alone, but that's just me.

And with a lot of character. I'm with the "don't monkey with it" crowd. A crack and a ding here doesn't bother me; it's part of the history of the piece.

Hello to all,

Alright, I will leave it be. But here something to think about, if that company that makes those really nice reproductions would have a enamel repair/replacement service, I am sure they will get lots of business.

Great job with posting the before and after photo. I didn't have enough time to do it last night.

Thank you for all your comments.

Dat,

I think it looks great, and I also vote to leave it alone. Shall we post a poll? :)

At one time Dave or someone posted an image of a printout of ORS numbers with corresponding dates they were given.

Is there a comparable list of the ORB with serial numbers and dates?

[January]

Have you got a copy of Echos of War handy? There is a table of ORB serial numbers and award dates on page 36.

Hello Jeff,
January is right, but if Dave doesn't mind, here is the image table for the ORB you are looking for.

And for multiple red banners...

[jefflgarrison]

So is there a significance to so many ORB's being given around the time of December 30, 1956?
