Soviet Red Star

[Noor]

Hi all,

Here is my latest Soviet award what I obtained. It is look like the Soviet awards prices are still falling fast. I was pleased anyway.

Regarding the Echoes book, this piece is awarded around end of 1944 when some large battles took place. Also its look like that the same period, Red Star became in use as a Long Service award. How big chance there is that this piece is actually awarded for a long service? I am still very ademted to get this one as well researched.

All the best,

Timo

I think the only way to find out is to actually have it researched. Regardless, it is a beautiful example. . .

[1977]

Maybe for the battle-can be rewarded for long service.

Near № 876.207.-reward for long service in November 1944.

Here is two more... maybe someone can confirm the awarding period and variations:

Number 304 182. Should be end of 1943?

Number 216 707. Should be summer 1943?

[Bill Garvy]

Yes, I believe those dates are accurate; 304182 would be late 1943, and 216707 early to mid-1943 per Schmitt. . .

Could we see the obverse of both, please?
