Description
Order of the Red Star #1785182
Made of silver and enamels. It measures 47.71 mm in width, 45.72 mm in height and weighs 29.8 grams without its screwplate. The mint mark is located above, and the serial number underneath the screw post.
In excellent condition with problem free enamels without repairs. There are several small superficial contact marks and dings but nothing distracting from the overall appearance of the order. The raised parts on its obverse show medium wear only and a fair amount of details of the soldier are still visible. Its screwplate is time period to the order and the screw has not been shortened.
Probably awarded during the spring of 1945 so with nice research potential
The Soviet 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.
