RED BANNER of WORK
In contrast to the military badge "Red Banner Order", the order "Red Banner of Labor" was awarded to civilians (e.g. collective farms, factories, factories and heroes of labor) for their outstanding achievements for the fatherland.
The original medal, shown here, consisted of a silver badge in the shape of a gear with the motto "Proletarians of the World, Unite!" imprinted. In the middle was a dam with an applied hammer and sickle emblem, underneath was blue enamel for the water. The whole thing was framed by an oak leaf wreath. Above it a red flag with the letters CCCP and below a red star between two golden ears of wheat.

MOLNIJA 3602
The Molnija 3602, which was produced for almost fifty years, between 1960 and 2008.
It goes back to the Cortebert 616, which was produced in Switzerland in the 1930s and 1940s, and whose machines were probably subsequently sold to Russia.
Over time, this work was modified several times, in particular the height increased by over a millimeter, and the decoration became more and more economical until, towards the end, almost no decorative cuts and other decorations were added.
