Order of glory

Dear all,
I have this one in my box found a long time ago, and now it’s time for me to see if this one is original or not, because I don’t want to have fake in my Soviet corner.
I hope you will help me on it.
Number on it 608003.

Fred,

Looks like a well worn OGIII, option 8 (Mondvor site)- the style of the CCCP as the obverse details are so worn.
Suspension has been replaced and looks to have a bit of enamel damage.
Most likely issued around late 1944 or early '45.

Regards,

Regards,

I agree here though I would place it in the first half of 1945, not earlier (when comparing to other known serial numbers).

Many thanks, You make my day, this one go in my Soviet corner now.
It’s bad it’s no N listing on them, but it’s nice to have specialist like you to help to come in this area of collection.
