hello everyone
This is a follow up question regarding serial numbers, measurements, dimensions, and dates
of this mondvor marked badge and the similarities with orders of the time, this is what i have noticed so far using my one and only reference book luckily comp guide to soviet orders and medals. and the internet.(art and eric you did mention 1939 as a possibility for age.how about 1935/6 in the same transitional stage as type 1 ors orbl and obh below are weights and measurements
badge
height 30mm same as red star tip too tip ref page 164
width at widest 24.5mm same as star centre too tip ref 164
screwback 18mm exactly half the unique screwback on a type 1 goznak ref page 164
screwpost 12mm exactly double transition red star ref page 165
screwpost width 3mm half normal ? ref page167
serial number 2mm high
makers marks two digit similar to type 2 1936 orbl and no mint mark ref page 153
other similarities 1936 type 2 obh no mint mark 2 digit mm transitional? ref page179
weight exactly 10g
one last thing the screwback plate of a type 1 early suspension gold star medal ref p24 is 17.75mm and looks as close as anything i've seen to the badges.and with the serial number 2224 fitting right into this time frame 1935/6 as far as i can tell with my limited knowledge and lack of reference.
food for thought i've had this badge sat in a draw for 3-5 years with no idea what it was or were it came from,then one day while looking at a well known internet auction site (lettered cove !!!!) one word caught my attention "MONDVOR" and a new hobby began. thanks for eveyones time i await the replies with beginners trepidation.
