Medals "For Irreproachable Service" MOOP UzSSR.

More data a year later: I now have had several 20-yr UZ MOOPs cross my doorstep, and I weighed them all. I have never seen a solid silver UZ MOOP, and every one I've seen has had the rounder points. Here are the weights (along with those of the 10-yr and 15-yr just for general info):

20-year UZ MOOP
15.45g w/ring
16.11g w/ring
16.19g w/ring
16.05g w/ring
16.10g w/ring
16.04g w/ring
15.76g w/ring

15-year MOOP
16.18g
16.01g
16.86g
16.25g
16.00g
16.25g
16.11g

10-year MOOP
16.16g
15.62g

In short, I'm just not sure about the solid silver, pointed-star UZ MOOP above. I've just never seen one like that, and I wonder if they were either made briefly at the beginning of the MOOP rename days, or is it fake? Beats me.

I did finally get my first solid silver 20-year military version yesterday! I had been looking for one for a long time, and it just fell across my path. :)
