William,
I have doubts regarding the usage of the booklet. I was told it was to keep a record of what awards were given to the recipient. I don't believe it was given with the awards as we have seen typical books issued. As you point out, there are no official stamps anywhere. None the less, I felt it was interesting for all to see it.
Chuck,
Nice aren't they? The collector who bought them (the two Georgian awards and one Transcaucasian award) paid $5000 USD for them in 1992. I've seen a few specimens of the Azerbaijan Red Banner of Labor before, but never the Georgian awards. It's a pleasure to get a nice closeup look of them. I asked the collector to send me big 300 DPI .tiff scans of the awards also. If anyone is interested in getting an even better look PM me and I'll email whichever you want.
