Hi,
Kittel on the shoulderboards, Guard insignia and Stalingrad médal are post-war.
The Red Star is good.
Order of Lenin is a fake.
REgards.

It seems to be a nice, original example that dates from early 50X.

As an insignia connoisseur, I would love to see clearer, and more qualitative images of the shoulder-boards. The latter are post 1946 regulation, but the stars are placed in the early 1943 configuration.

theres some more pics of the shoulder boards and while i was at it i got better pics of the order of the red star the number on the back is either 689277 or 689227 if more pics are needed please let me know and thanks for the responses so far!

Question: I am digging around on thread trying to compare Real and Fake Order of Lenin Medals. Anyone guide me to that thread?

The images of the shoulder-boards still need to be of better quality. Not that is anything wrong with them from here.

They are easily removed and scanned/photographed.

The authentic and copies are easily distinguishable.

Kindly clarify...

The ORS is A-OK except for the enamel damage and lack of the proper screw-plate.

What more do you need to know?
