Errr…guys, maybe I’m still a newbie hut i didn’t see how to join an external file to private mails of this forum. If not, pm-me your normal emails and the stuff will go (I’ll write from my classic mailbox outisde of this forum).
Salut christophe, I’m not sure about your hypothesis about rotatating tools engraving. I find the s/n on VVS 3rd correct, and nice engraving is not really easy to my sense. Only nice work is accessible to skilled worker of the mint...I think (correct me gentlemen) that the booklet is donne long after the negraving at the mint and engraving systematically done at the mint: the administration (miltary or civilian) receive the orders with s/n done at the mint. They can keep them during several years (or months during WW2 for red star or glory): a lenin engraved in the 60’ could be given ten years later by the local soviet...the administration then fill the booklet with the number of the order they find in the closet...
