Gentlemen, here is a group that needed a looot of time to appear.

It is a late type. Bought at a well knwon New Jersey gentleman, long time ago.

The Bulgarian equivalent of the Lenin Order. Order and mignon are in gold?

Grazzie Marc. Yes, it is a hollow order, made of two pieces soldered together. The bottom piece has 2 holes to let hot gases get out... But rare first pieces were made a solid plain gold piece (and logicaly heavier).

I'm not aware the minaiture is made of another material than white metal.

Seb,

One small precision: first type Dimitrovs were made of one piece of 18K gold (and were numbers too)

I will try the earlier possible.

Interesting, you have too the mint mark "OH" at the border of the right Dimitrov's lapel... You have a mint mark on the top border of the medal connecting loop...

Curious, is your order hollow? I have the feeling that the two holes are filed... or unfinished.

This beauty unfortunately does not belong to me, those good pictures are from the web,
as you probably know all my stuff have my seal watermark ;)

I had a strange feeling about the wheat details on your Order, that's why I reopen the topic with some pictures.

Sergio,

I've held Seb's order in hand in the past and it is perfectly genuine.

Mark I am not an expert of this Order I just asked if it’s possible to see better pictures without flash and in focus,
happy that the order was in your hand and is genuine..

I'll take new pics, you are right because artificial lights can give false impressions... on yours pictures with a really crude white light I've the feelin the wheats are flat... in real life they are perfectly shaped and molded.
