It's an original piece, produced by the Krasnokamsk Mint in August 1945.

I hope you have ignored the bs text in the auction description: :rolleyes :

This is the very scarce TYP2 early version, which was actually awarded and made during WW2, with the two correct rivets at the base of the screw post. The low serial number of 811097 tells us that this particular gallantry Order would have been awarded to a heroic Soviet soldier fighting NAZI forces in 1943 to 1944, around the time of the fierce battle for Stalingrad, the German Armies first major defeat of World War Two.
