Soviet Nice new Red Banner/Red Star Grouping

[Paul R]

I just purchased this nice grouping from a fellow forum member. I am going to have it researched. Hopefully, it is more than a couple of long service awards(based upon the 46/47 dates).

Regardless, I am excited to add this to my Orders and Medals Collection. This is my first Order grouping since 1993!

The Red Star is probably a "real" award (it was awarded in November 194[5?], the Red Star is partially blocking the date). The Red Banner is most likely a long service award from the mid-50s.

Here is a better shot of the book.

Sorry, but it seems that both awards are for long service. The Red Star was probably awarded on Nov 5, 1946 for 15 years of service and the Red Banner in late 1955 or 1956 for 20 years of service.

Thanks! I appreciate it. What you say makes complete sense to me.

It is still a righteous and complete grouping.
