Soviet Order of the Red Star #7880
Awarded to torpedo operator Ivan Afanasyevich Kalinov (Иван Афанасьевич Калинов)
For successes as a torpedo operator on the Shch-311 (Щ-311) submarine during the Soviet-Finnish War
Made of silver and enamels. The order measures 49.70 mm in width, 48.21 mm in height and weighs 29.7 gram without its screwplate. The serial number is located at the 6 o’clock position and the mint mark on the 12 o’clock position of its reverse. This early variation has a round base ‘heel’ of the screw.
This original order of the Red Star is in a nice overall condition but the enamels have been replaced. The details are mostly visible and its reverse is in superb condition with few dings and scratches. The screwpost is full length and the order comes with its time period silver screwplate.
An early award with great eye appeal and interesting research. Rare as such!
