Order of the Red Banner, screwback

[Paul R]

I have several screwback Red Banners and Lenn Order. The lowest number Red Banner is 1091. One is the Russian Federation version. Where can I get them researched?

Such a low number?! WOW! I bet that the citation on that one will be awesome! The early ones really had to be earned. They got easier to award over time...

This guy does research. Please post the results when you get them in!

Dimas,

That example is great! How did the damage occur on the back? Has it been researched yet?

Thanks. I'll post some pictures soon.

I found the website site you mentioned but what hoping there might be a cheaper service available. I realize the $150 research fee would add to the value of the medal but I have 5!

[Dimas]

Naturally all information given by the Russian archive is free, and they have a lot of work too

[Paul R]

But then there is the issue of physically going into the archives and the language barrier... The information is free, but the service is a very nice convenience!

The other medals were added for the sake of the photo(to show what his research said he had) and are not original to the grouping.

Exactly!

[pjm]

here are mine with some details.

No 53281 has something scratched on the reverse upper section, perhaps the owner's name.

The No 20115 has a cut down post and no disk. It's an unusual variant that has semi-mirror reverse.

So what does that translate into?

Those are amazing pjm,

I have never seen so many screwbacks in one photo before!

[Dimas]

PJM, very nice! If you'll someday want to sell them- tell me know!
