Thanks for the info Marc. It makes sense that they might use different material to differentiate it from a standard (actual) piece.

I agree - I wonder if they were removed with the idea of selling them or a sort of sentimental value? More importantly, I'd like to meet that press operator and arrange a few exchanges! :D

Anyway - Marc - congrats on a very nice and interesting piece!

Rusty,
When I saw it, I just had to have it :D Well, you know the feeling, right...

Marc

Marc,

This is a one bloc solid piece, right?

The holes where the rivets would have been are just holes, from one side of the bloc to the other opposite side?

Thanks,

Dolf

PS: As for me, yes, I guess I can imagine the feeling ;)

Marc,

I would have to disagree. To test pressure you would need the die to strike the end product metal. If you test it with a softer or harder metal the results are off. Also, why drill/punch holes in a test piece???

I do like the piece though!

Rusty.

Dgharvey,

According to Mc Daniel's book, the one with a flat reverse should be a Type 4.

Thanks Dolf-
Just after I posted, I noticed that the difference between the Long, Semi-Long and Short ovals has to do with the length of the spans underneath the hammer & sickle. Judging by that, mine is a T4.

Hi to all,

Nothing special, just common orders of Red banner of labor. But for me it happens first time, that I found orders where serial numbers are number after number. So welcome to my collection- twin brothers snr. 1237041 and 1237042.

Regards,

Lauri

That's really cool to see actually. Did you acquire both pieces from the same source? Or did you find them seperately?

Hi,

they came from the same source without documents. I think they are unissued orders.
