Is this a WWII enameled star?

That one is the visorhat star, but they was videly used on the winter hats, side hats and budionovkas too. I have photos where that kind of star issued on all of the headgear, I told above.

Hi Matt, it will just be a makers variation. Sometimes these things do not measure out exactly as per regulations.

Cheers, Ade.

thanks guys! since soviet soldier pictures are not that common (I am looking for portraits but they are very few around and usually expensive), any pictorial integration of the star in wear is more than welcome

[RichieC]

Very nice star you have there Matt.

As Dim has written, these were used on all sorts of soft headgear - aside from visor caps.

Here are two images of them in use on Pilotka and Beskozirka:

Thank you Richie! I am mainly a german militaria collector but I like history and therefore when possible I add also stuff from other countries to my collection if that is interesting to me

[Zeller]

Ok, now the going get tough Please help me ID this bunch of red stars, all ground dug in Germany, but one. I can ID one as WW2 (the one incomplete) but have no idea for the others.
Thanks Matt

[Zeller]

any of them is ww2?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Matt, from what I can see the one at top right (Another 1936 pattern as evidenced by the two holes for the separate hammer & sickle) the rest all appear to be post war examples.

Cheers, Ade.

The bigest with safe enamel in the senter is fake, all others made of light metall are late postwar. The rest of stars could be wartime.

[RichieC]

I have to disagree that this star is fake.

I strongly believe that it is German made - postwar reparation.

I would also be interested viewing closer images of the two stars in which I have crudely drawn arrows pointing at...
