Muzalevsky and Shishkov wrote a good book, unfortunately, I know for a fact that 30-40% of the orders shown in the book are not original. It’s happened before when author described in the book awards that never existed. Paul writes that Red Banner 8th award with serial number 4 was observed but a half a year ago he said they never existed. Muzalevsky is very knowledgeable writer and has access to many resources but I’m not sure that the case when picture in his book v can be considered as prove.
Again, I never said they these medals didn't exist. I'm just very skeptical. Why goldplating wasn't mentioned in regulation for this medal?
