From what I understand you can inherit the awards of your ancestors very much alike some of the pre-soviet Russian awards. It would seem to me that it would far cheaper to modify the original document to the new holder's name than to issue another document entitling the person to officially wear the item. Another thought I have had on the subject of modifying names and destroying numbers on DPRK awards is if these documents are being changed to stop persecution of the person's family of the original awardee would some of the names and dates be changed to someone that you wanted to get in trouble? I'm quite a happy person today as I've just picked up another 8 DPRK orders including another order of Kim Il-Sung. Now having a documented one though would be something else!
