Here is a Type 2 numbered 150-199.
As can be seen the Order is constructed from solid copper with a steel pin.
This particular Order has spent a considerable period "underground" and acid has eaten nearly everything but the copper.
I believe the jeweller may be giving this a complete rejuvenation as all damage that has occurred to it after the dead of its original owner.
The problem that causes the weak pin attachment is due to the main portion of the Order being plated before the "hood" for the pin attachment, which is the re-plated. A fatal production mistake.
If this had been a Soviet produced screwback it would be one of the finest awards in existence.
Founded 20th March 1972.
