Order of Labor Glory, 3rd class, Type 2, #59995, circa mid- to late-1970s.
Silver gilt, enamels; measures 46.9 mm in height (incl. eyelet), 40.8 mm in width; weighs 35.4 g not including the suspension and connecting link. Note the five-digit serial number, uncommonly low for a Type 2 award.
Excellent condition. The enamel has only a couple of microscopic contact marks invisible without magnification, no wear noticeable to the naked eye. There is a very attractive patina to silver, while the gold plating on the letters is still clearly visible. Comes on original two- layer aluminum suspension with a very well-preserved old ribbon. The connecting link appears to be original; its ends are still joined with solder in the manner characteristic of the Soviet mint.
