Soviet Unusual Soviet star (hat badge?)

[GC*]

Good afternoon gentlemen.

I have just come across this very unusual 1 inch long Soviet star.

I collect Soviet hat badges since years and I have never seen such a type of star..naturally I am not even sure if the star is Soviet, as it could come from any other communist country (even if the style kind of reminds me of Soviet stars).

Any of you dear fellow collectors has any idea about what this star could be?

A hat badge, a jacket-uniform badge?

And which period? Given the many unusual elements on it I am thinking about a possible eraly period, Civil War or immediatly after..but I honestly have no clear ideas about this star. This is the reason why I find it so interesting!..

Thank you

I believe that type of fitting would be for a jacket lapel button hole rather than for a hat.

Thank you very much Kevin in Deva!

The whole thing sounds much more clear now.

The "crescent" behind the star seems to perfectly fit arounf the button of a uniform or jacket.

I was so focused on trying to "fit it on a hat" that I missed the whole point at first!

Thank you
