I am not sure about this piece.

But I do not like the mint mark. Some characterisitcs are missing.

But all is possible.

Does somebody has a picture of mint mark near by?

best regards

This is my thoughts.

I think, for this serial number range, the mint mark should be curved, not straight.

The details near the shield and and near the tip of the sword also look to correspond to a later variation.

"Орден Александра Невского Тип 3, Вариант 1
Минимальный известный номер ордена – 10707, максимальный - 30324"

"Орден Александра Невского Тип 3, Вариант 2
Минимальный известный номер ордена – 23705, максимальный - 50598."

Type 3 variation 2 nevsky.jpg


I think, at best it may possibly be a type 3, variation 2 but with an altered serial number?

What does everyone else think?

Tom- yes, i noticed that- though I thought that some overlap in numbers/versions is quite possible?
For example, on soviet-screwbacks this number falls into 3 categories of T3: V1, V2 and V3, but doesn't really resemble any of those...

Well, we'll see maybe to get some more opinions

I have come over a collection with some better orders and medals, and I hope it is ok to post pictures here for your comments. (Long since I last was active, but I have been busy with other collectibles the last few years...)

Pictures are very small, but I tend to like the Newski.

Hi everybody,

any opinion on this one ???

Thank you, guys !!!

Although the serial number does not correspond with the type, I believe it to be original. The number looks washed and replaced so it might be a re-issue. What is the weight of the order?

Thank you for your fast estimation - I do not know - I haven`t purchased it yet... but the price is very attractive. What would be the correct weight ...?

Apx 41 gram but I've seen slightly lighter ones.
