Alvarez ha scritto:How could you differentiate "only silver" and "nickel-silver"? In spite of everything, there are a few Mongolian medals with screw plates from other materials-colors.
On the pther hand, I have seen the screw plates with "д" with peak and "д" without peak in different types of medals. In the book of Paul McDaniel and Schmitt + mondvor.narod + collectrussia, both types appear indistinctly in OPW 1 and 2, Order of Nevsky, medal for labor, medal for combat service, medal for valiant labor and medal for distinguished labor.
The truth is that it's all a bit confusing.
Many screw plates were exchanged and intermingled in time, and the result is confusion.
Conceivably the first orders with suspension, had the silver screw, and the medals in brass, then we must consider the various mints.
But one thing is certain, the screw plates of Mongolia were nickel silver (Alpacca).
