Fake Orders of the Red Star

[Snameni]

Thank you very much for your help and all the time you have spent for this ORS… I agree with you but this ORS is not an easy case… I checked the thickness of each arm of the star in 2 points with a micrometer but I did not find any discrepancies….. at 12 o’clock : 3.23 mm/3.47 mm, at 3 o’clock : 3.21 mm/3.42 mm, at 5 o’clock : 3.25 mm/3.46 mm, at 7 o’clock : 3.24 mm/3.44 mm and at 9 o’clock : 3.23 mm/3.48 mm
I checked the clearance between the screwplate and the surface of the order using a 0.08mm filler gauge and at 12 o’clock is loose, at 3 o’clock is tight on the lower contact point, at 5 o’clock is too tight, at 7 o’clock is too tight and at 9 o’clock is tight on the lower point (same as 3 o’clock).
If we compare those 2 results, I think the non contact marks on the reverse is not because any buffering out of the surface, but because the screw post is not straight… maybe because any thermal stress from the soldering??
This ORS measures 45.65mm in height and 48.00mm in width and weights 30.07 grams. The “horseshoe” medallion measures 20.44mm (18.99 mm from 12 to 6 o’clock) in height and 21.03mm in width…
I examined the reverse surface with x60 and x100 magnification glasses and they are countless “straight line” scratches all over the place… something I haven’t seen before… and the inscription around the “horseshoe” looks very awful under x100 magnification… I’m thinking I will return it to the dealer…..
I really do appreciate your time and your effort!! You have done a great job!!
