walle Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wat05 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Gaumann Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walle Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wat05 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 (edited) 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). Edited October 30 by Wat05 Realised error, 36 ID was German and therefore wouldn’t be recipient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egorka Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
