I've recently mounted a group I got a while back. This is the first time I've tried to mount a group that has order books.
I went to the hopbby shop, bought the card, frame, glass, red felt as normal. I cut a hole in the card where the orders would sit, so when the card was covered in felt, they would sit into the card. The then glued the felt to the card and mounted the two ordered.
The order books were a little more difficult. I got hold of some green thread and used a neadle to go through the felt and card and down the center of the book and then through the other side where I tied the thread to hold to order books in place.
As some friends mine saw some of the other medals/orders I've mounted and said it would be nice if I put what they were, I decided to write a description of what the Order of Labour Glory was awarded for, number issued and a translation into English of the order booklet.
The result seems to have come out ok.
Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.
