Medal "Veteran Of Labour".

There are 2 types of the Medal:
- with blackening of the obverse and silver-plating reverse (Type 1);
- no blackening and silver-plating (Type 2).

Please look at the picture attached with 7 Variations of the Medal.

No argument from me.:) Perhaps you could give us some sort of context here. It seems like you are responding to a previous posting that I cannot see.

If I'm not mistaken, the darker version had what gunsmiths in the US call "bluing" applied to the finish.

Guys,

Sergey has been researching the Veteran's medal for quite some time now. Igor Pak made a small summary of some of the identified varieties and published it on the Mondvor site (see link in Auke's post just above), although there seem to be many more variations in existence than simply those detailed.

I already put picture fixed 2 types and 7 variations of this medal. I believe it will be more interesting to collect this medal taking into account that about 39 millions were awarded.
