I don't like the overly large box for the screwback order. Should be in a nice box relative to size of the award. Just my opinion. Looks like they have a "one box fits all" approach.

Alexei,
I also have that same style box with one of my Lenin's. Strange they didn't include some sort of nice insert, similar to the other higher awards. I'm wondering if they were ever in better boxes, then post-war when everything cheapened up a little went to these? My set with this type of box dates from the 1950's, what is yours?

Art,
I am sure they must have had other boxes as well, and I don't know when exactly they started using these, but I know that they were used at least from 1942 till 1957. I have had documented Lenins from those dates with names of the recipients tyiped on a strip of paper, glued to the side of the box. Alexei |

Tal,
This box has nothing to do with the KPSU badge. As you can see from the picture - something else was stored in this box - hence the circular in the padding - and was most likely added by the seller. |

Those boxes were mass produced in the SU to store cheap "zhachki" - pins (which this box was used for - just look at the picture).
The numbers of these cheap boxes made are probably in millions, so I am not surprised that many dealers use them. It's just like us using plastic pocket sleeves to store medals - you see many medals sold in those plastic packages and no one says they originally came with the awards. |
