Moderate, even wear throughout, worn out enamel in circle around the portrait and on the letters. Fine to very fine overall: rated 6 out of 10 by Paul McDaniel, a very high condition rating for an item this rare. Includes original screw plate.

Still - how many of Tractors have you seen for sale? They are so rare...

Honestly, IMHO if you'll spend that much I'd want a near perfect example...

Just to add that - as far the photo of the Tractor Lenin allows to see it - it does not seem to be any red enamel remaining !!! Neither on the circle nor on the CCCP letters.
I'm wondering who could buy such a piece at such a price ... In my view, the asked price will be sharply reduced by the reality of the transaction.

Tractor Lenin was sold on OMSA convention last Saturday.

I think the buyer paid whole asking price.

Here's the Tractor #118 sold - before dealer takes the pics away from his web site.

Yes, fuil price was paid at OMSA. But I at least got to hold it in my hands. Wow.

Here're a couple of pics of some unusual engraving styles on a couple of re-issue awards that came with a group I just picked up. The style on the Red Banner of Labor isn't too unusual, but I've never seen one as sloppily done as the engraving on the Lenin! Oy!

Dave,

I think I might have an explanation - both awards are reissues for earlier types.

Right- They are both reissue pieces. However, I've never seen one as sloppy as the one on the Lenin... In the middle, on an angle?

Dave,

Yeap, this has to be the weirdest of them all...
