Re: Order Of The National Flag Guide.
Here is the third variation. The metal content is different to the previous variation and it is also noticeable by a slight change in font on the groups "기" and "호". This Order is in the 26250-26299 range.

Re: Order Of The National Flag Guide.
Here is the National Flag Order 3rd Class Type 2 (The "Soviet Type") Variation 1. The "Soviet Type" were serial numbered sporadically between 1500-100000. This first variation can be noted by the large distance between the letter groups at either side on the serial number. This particular Order is numbered 1950-1999.

Re: Order Of The National Flag Guide.
This Type 2 Variation 2 is another Soviet produced piece. This variation can be noticed by the closer positioning of the character groups at either side of the serial number. This particular Order is numbered in the range 15000-15050.

Re: Order Of The National Flag Guide.
This fourth variation of the "Soviet Type" is noticeable by a slightly wandering first character grouping but also the hollowed area around the screwpost is more angled rather than rounded as on the previous three variations. This particular Order is serial numbered in the 31700-31750 range.

Re: Order Of The National Flag Guide.
This fifth variation of the "Soviet Type" is once again noticeable by the wandering characters and also has the angled recess around the screwpost. It is my belief that this particular variation of this Order was a special order of "higher quality" awards for non-Korean Allies from the Korean War as this variation is a Soviet made screwback with a serial number in a range about 50,000 higher than the change over from screwback to pinback. This particular Order is numbered in the 91200-91250 range and it is my belief that it was awarded to a Bulgarian (most likely Medical) for service in Korea during hostilities.
