Soviet Order of the red star 319 488

[Ostfront]

And this is my new order of the red star. I think, seriall number is 319 488? I'm I right? I'll also ask a few questions for this one, is everything OK with this piece and what is your best guess about awarding time and place?

Hi,

Your images are not coming through.

[Ostfront]

Do you see them now?

Yes, I can see them now!! Nice one! Are you getting it researched?

[Ostfront]

Yes! But first I wanted to ask about originality and about the serial number.

Howewer I think there may be a chance that this one was never awarded as it's in almost mint condition. Look at the screwplate, it's like new. Something, I would not expect from a 1943 award.

September or October 1943.

That appears to be a nice original silver screw-plate that has simply been polished.

Yes, it's Nr. 319488.

I took the liberty of lightening up your picture a bit so the number appears more clearly. . .
