Description
Soviet Order of the Red Star #2273978
Made of silver and enamels. Measures 48.04 mm in width, 45.99 mm in height and weighs 30.0 gram. The mint mark is located above, and the serial number underneath the screw post.
This original order is in a vintage condition with strong wear on the center medallion. The red enamel shows a superficial chip on the tip of the 9 o’clock ray of the star and several small dings and scratches. Its screw has not been shortened and the well fitted nut is time period to the order.
Most likely awarded in the second half ’45 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.
