    Need Info's about this order of the red star


    Recommended Posts

    Hi folks

     

    I've found this order of the red star in one of those famous 'cigar boxes' belonging to one of my relatives.

    As far as I saw here the serialnumber '151937' indicates that it should be from the end of 1942 - is this correct and is this a real medal. Any help and input is wellcome

     

    regards Walle

    It should be about the end of 1942, and first few months of 1943, so let’s say 1942-43 Winter. Going by the information on mondvor-narod, your order is a Variant 3, 4 (Вариант 3, Разновидность 4). Your mint sign has a breve above the ‘И’, thus it is ‘МОНЕТНЫЙ’. Some don’t have a breve like yours, and looks like ‘МОНЕТНЫИ’. With this information, I think yours is an authentic order.

    Looks good.  According to the 'Soviet Screwbacks' website it's a T4V6.2.  And according to Schmitt's 'Echoes of War' it's award date could be anywhere from (late) 1942 to (earlier) 1944.

    Hi Guys

     

    tx to the fast replays. My grandfather was member of the 36. ID and took part at the battle of Orel. Maybe he had it from there. Unfortunatly I cannot ask him no more.

    Is there a chance to find out according to the number whom it belonged to

     

    regards Walle

    Yes it is possible. There are researchers that can go to archives that will match the Order, using its number, to the recipient.  One of the most known researchers is Igor Korenev (Research Egorka).

    Realised error, 36 ID was German and therefore wouldn’t be recipient.

    Hello, 

    Yes, the award number can be researched itself to find name. 

    But if you think it belonged to you grand-dad, then you have full information on him like full name and birth year and place. 

    So, you can check the Pamyat-Naroda.ru

    Or else share his full name and birth year if you need assistance.

    missunderstanding, it definatly was not awarded to my grandfather because he was a soldier in the german army, but it could be a war trophy or something like this.
