      The research is finally in for this Order of the Red Star, Nr. 22749. . . Translation will follow. I was just so excited I had to post this!

      From the reverse. . .

      My "K" for comparison. . .
    7. Bill Garvy
      The pin, hinge and clasp configuration do not match any known originals.

      Another "K" for comparison. . .

      What seems to be unique about both of these examples is the "D" maker mark is stamped on the outside of the ribbon ring. Just an observation. . .

      Enlarged and cleaned up, a bit, but out of focus. . . sorry. . . Looks like a "D" to me. . .

      Here is yet another variant; one piece construction, unmarked, and non-magnetic core.

      I will echo the sentiments of my esteemed colleagues, These are original pieces, albeit in rough condition. They really appear to have been there. That being said, if these are being offered with othe other batch you posted, from the individual you mentioned, I too would stay away.

      I haven't a clue where his other awards could be, but I'm looking. Research is pending, and, as you requested, here is the close-up Lieutenant Boris Ivanovich Olesov's picture, which is really quite striking. . . Rick, is anything else discernable? I appreciate being able to see at all this through your eyes in a manner of speaking. . .

      Thank you for your quick response!

      Here is a scan of the stamp on the above page. I suspect this might have been a long service award given it's proximity to another Red Star in my collection, Nr. 896316. As always your assistance is much appreciated, and thank you for looking!

      The next page in the Award Book lists this Red Star, and, I suspect, another, Nr. 32343. What other awards/orders are listed?
    22. Bill Garvy
      Here is a scan of the stamp on the above page. What can you tell me about the stamp?
    23. Bill Garvy
      This is the first Award book I have in my collection with a picture of the recipient. What is his name? What rank is he in picture?
    24. Bill Garvy
      Just received this Order of the Red Star, Nr. 886800, with its Award Book, and was wondering if I could get some additional information based on what I'll be posting. First the Red Star itself in excellent condition. . .
    25. Bill Garvy
      Any better?
