Hi all

I got a few days this Red Star, I am not sure if it is old or newer.

Please could you tell me about it?

Best Regards

This website is a good source of info on ORS. Accordingly, your number should be around 1945.

There's a pinned thread with thousands of numbers: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/35306-soviet-serial-numbers-for-military-awards/

Looks like yours, if it's a 260XXXX as I'm seeing it from the photos, was an early 1945 award. Probably a good candidate for research.

Thanks Dave.

This will be very helpful.

is it possible that I get more information about the person who was awarded.

It's an original star, aside from the replaced enamel on the top arm. It was manufactured in September 1945

Based upon the number, I would research it. It would be a great Battle for Berlin candidate, or it could be for Long Service.
