Description

Soviet Order of the Red Star #391210

Order of the Red Star; Made of silver and enamels. Measures 48.18 mm in width; 47.59 mm in height and weighs 27.1 gram. The mint mark is located above, and the serial number underneath the screw post.

This original order is in decent condition with most details visible. The red enamel is problem free apart from a repair on the 5 o’clock ray of the red star. The higher laying parts on its obverse show medium wear and the silver has an attractive dark patina. Its screw has not been shortened and the silver screwplate is time period to the order.

Probably awarded in the summer of 1943. Great research potential!

The Order of the Red Star was given to Red Army and Navy personnel for exceptional service in the cause of the defense of the Soviet Union; in both war and peace. Also awarded for 15 years of service prior to the creation of the long service awards.
