May be they are reproduced ones?

100% original, no problem.

Because no repros of these have been spotted (or made) so far.
The only known repros are some 1st class orders which are easy to tell they are repros and inscribed with "reproduction" on the back. there are also some repro ribbon bars, the fabric is obviously different from that of the genuine ones.

ok. I think this is this kind of repros a friend of mine has been offered for...But what are the numbers of orders granted over the years? there're not any figures about this in order to make a comparison with the soviet union?
