Soviet Order of the Red Star

[Bryan]

Wow a Mondvor Red Star!

[Ed_Haynes]

Lovely thread, but that last one pretty much says it all. Wow.

Was thinking about adding mine, but, now . . . when the big bell has rung why add a little tinkle.

I assume the research possibilities on one that early are slight? (Never had the chance to try.)

Thanks, Bill!

Very nice Bill! I've been looking for quite some time for a Red Star under 100.000 and you come up with five pieces under 30.000...

Got two more beautiful red stars. Anyone dare to guess what front they could be from? I have to get Echoes of war some day. How much information is it on award numbers and fronts in the book, just a few for every award?
