3rd Order of the Red Star #1719751

[VolksJager]

Well its happened again, I saw this lovely star, at the right price of course, and couldn't say no to it. Number 1719751 with a very small chip to the left arm edge, otherwise in great worn shape. The post has a slight bend on it and it comes with the screw back. Not sure about research on it yet though, I guess issue early 1945..... Still learning the ways of the star

So I now have 3, with the very first one's research hopefully not far away. I also got a 'Defense of Moscow' and 'Capture of Berlin' Medals with booklets for both yesterday and another 2 piece cap star on the way.

Geez this soviet stuff in Addictive!

Very nice! Can't wait to see the research that comes back eventually from this and your other ORS!

Thanks for that Bill, So odds on its a late 1944 award. I really enjoy these stars and the variations in all of them. It has the brightest red enamel of my three. Am sure this won't be the last either .Not sure on the research yet though

Cheers Jason
