Hello, Gentlemen.
This came in the mail today. A Type 2, starback reverse. Very nice piece with perfect enamel and slight toning. Long, threaded post. I got this along with a few other medals which I'll post after this busy weekend.
The rivets are so small I almost missed seeing them. C.E. Juncker could have taken lessons from this mint.
Here are some photos::)

Respects.
Robert

Hello, gentlemen.
No better time to show of my newest piece than now. As you know, it's a type 2, variation 1. On this particular piece, was the hammer/sickle riveted on or soldered? I'm presuming riveted and hidden under the backplate???? Beautiful piece in superb condition.

Respects.
Robert

Robert,

Congratulations! that's a nice piece.

Here's what it looks like unscrewed:

Thank you, Sir. That's how I thought it went together but just couldn't get myself to do what you did. Riveted.

:) Thanks again.

That disassembled looks so shiny and clean! Isn't that anathema? :D

Here's a die crack on a OGPW2:

Well,

here's an OPW with rivets. It appears that they did exist...

William,

This one looks bad as well.
How do you explain the rivet that doesn't rivet to anything? :confused:

Rusty.

Rusty,

You are mistaken piece of solder for a rivet. It's just small round drop of led/tin, not a rivet.

If you compare the placement of rivets - it matches the OPW I posted before. On the last OPW all solder has to be washed out (with chemical solution) - then I guess we'd see the remaining two rivets.
