Nice Patrick, nice! We got brothers here.
This is a T3V1, right? Not a V2?
Does yours have that 'dimple' below the MM and just a bit above the serial number, too?
Do you have an image of the screwback plate for this? I thought mine was a replacement until I tried an original (?) ORB plate that that stopped revolving about 2/3rds of the way down the post.

Is that not the best feeling in the world?
I saw this Order many many months ago in the local shop. At that time it was, to me, so far out of reach I never seriously considered looking at it (not to mention buying it). But, due to guys like Alexei, who are so willing to give away their expertise in this field I bought, and looked, and inspected (due thanks here to Schmitt & McDaniel also) enough Soviet stuff that I was confident to the point where I said to myself "I'm pretty confident this is good".
And now I have, in my collection a legit Nevsky, for a damn nice price no less!

All I got to say is: "cheers to us, the Nevsky brothers!"!!

PS. tomorrow morning, when I'm a bit more soberer, I'll post pix of me screwback plate. It's not the same as yours.
