Hi Alfred, can you put a picture of the front of the order? The letter P of CCCP, to be precise.

Yes I thought that.
I am waiting for the rest of the pictures.

Andreas,
No need to wait for additional pictures, as Filo said, it is a fake.

Gents, what are the keypoints? Bad adjustement between the laurels plate and the medal itself?

Seb,
It is unfortunately not that simple.
First, we need to remember that original leaves "found their way out" of the Mint, so focusing exclusively on them may lead to the wrong conclusion.
There were some specific elements to the original construction, the most telling one being the rivets (I won't go into any more details since we are in the open part of the forum).
I have also been researching in the serial number interval in which OH were made (from 1,463,430 on). It is important to know that they were produced in batches (consecutive or not) of 100 pieces, from x30 to (x+1)29. So, should you find any OBH in that last range, you can exclude 100 SN straight away.
By the way, please send me all the SN of
OBH with numbers above 1,463,430 to help me complete my research.
That being said, this SN number falls in a range of known OBH, so, this one is no good

Alfred, the differences are very obvious.

I do not know if it is obvious from the picture, but the P in CCCP seems totally wrong. I see also differences in the mintmark (besides the general surface texture of the reverse), and the rivets are installed very roughly.

Rocket,
The order is perfectly genuine, except for the fake leaves that were added.

I think I did't say anything different. It seems derived from this variation (that for some reasons overlaps the range of serials).

Badge of Honour in the serial number range of Order of Honour.
