Description
Soviet Order of the Red Star #3680716
Order of the Red Star; Made of silver and enamels. Measures 47.99 mm in width; 45.82 mm in height and weighs 30.2 gram. The mint mark is located above, and the serial number underneath the screw post. The minimum known serial number is 3084250 and the maximum is 3746708.
This original order is in excellent condition with all details crisp. The red enamel is problem free with few dings or scratches. The reverse shows a beautiful toning and its screw has not been shortened.
This order hasn’t been researched but chances are it was awarded for defeating the Prague Uprising in 1968 (e.g. #3680835) or even the Egyptian-Israeli Confrontation in 1970 (e.g. #3680105).
A beautiful piece with great eye appeal!
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.
