RedMaestro,

ORBL 309657 was awarded on September 6, 1954
310385 on September 24, 1954
313846 on August 28, 1954
321129 on November 5, 1954

So, it sounds pretty right to estimate 1954 as date of award.

Wow, that's great! How did you get hold on these textbook examples?

[CtahhR]

I think communicating with the people writing the textbooks is usually the way to go.

Yes, sounds logical... So I can contact mc Daniel for trading the Order of Victory as wel...:idea

You certainly can try! It never hurts to try.

There are a great many of active and inactive forum members who have had articles, papers and books published on the subject of awards and related history. I had an article published a year ago on the subject of awards and have done lectures on them too (It is difficult to talk for ONLY 45 minutes).
There are also a few of us who put awards from our collections on public display too.

You'll find that this forum is probably the best medium to find other enthusiasts who are active in doing a little bit more with awards than just hiding them away in boxes or drawers.

I'm working on a few projects at the moment and I know others are too.
Right now I am more in the stage of "collection of items and information" so it may be some time before any big developments occur but they will with time. It takes a back seat to renovation work to the forum.

Here is a great place to "publish" images of your items without having to go to all the effort of writing a book and finding a publisher. Then we can all enjoy the items.

This thread seems to be the place to be if you like Red Banners Of Labour.

I have recently brought a Order of Red Banner of Labour and it came with the award document which in away is almost a form or research. First time I have seen this for a Labour award.
