I am very impressed! This is probably the best job I have seen so far. The entire back of this Order of the Great Patriotic War 2nd Class was polished to errase the old serial number, "pebbling" is left only on the tips of the star. They had finished the job with some kind of wire brush to hide traces of polishing, serial number is nicely engraved, and there is only a very minor indentation under the new number. This piece was part of a larger group with original Order of Nevsky.
