Thanks, Marc.
That site is so comprehensive, that without knowing where to look or what to look for, it's very difficult to find precisely what I want to know.
In this case, though, knowing it was there was the clue I needed.
For other novices, like myself:
Based on information from the Mondvor site, the "Ordeskie Record" that I posted below is a Type 3, printed in Moscow, Goznak 1945.
It has the second version of the "General Rules of Orders, May 7, 1936" starting on page 3.
The booklet's serial number, 260,764, falls within the lower part of the serial number range for the Type 3 records.
I still have one question, though.
All of the examples illustrated on the Mondvor site (Types 1 through 10) have the printing on the cover in gold. My booklet's cover printing is in black.
In all other details, the booklet below conforms exactly to the Type 3's described and illustrated.
Is this black colored printing a known, and normal variation, or has the gold ink faded over the years, or is the black cover printing an indication of forgery?
By the way, for those that haven't tried it, does a pretty good job with the Russian on the Mondvor site.
It's a bit tedious to use at times, but does the job. You can translate text portions or entire web pages. Sometimes, however, it does not translate the html buttons or allow them to be used to navigage. So, it sometimes reqires translating each individual page on the site. (It also works well for many other languages.)
