    Hello,

    This is my first post as I just joined today! I have been reading many posts and GREATLY appreciate all the insight and comments.

    I purchased this Order of the Red Star and can not place it? It is silver and worn, the markers mark being on the bottom is unusual, and the extra D is not normal, plus the low serial number of 0230? Do I have a fake or a replacement, or just an unusual one.

    Any insight would be most appreciated!

    Thanks, Michelross

    Sorry, but 100% copy.

    "Д" = "D" and stands for Duplicate.
    Duplicate awards were issued in rare cases when original awards were lost in force-major situations.
    The thing is that duplicates often have to be treated with more suspicion as usual. This is because they are used as a cover up for fakes. The lower the serial number you see on a duplicate award, the more suspicious you should get.
    This one looks not legit to me.

    Thank you for the information. Had a feeling that it was not real with the low number and the extra D.

    Again, thank you for the information, much appreciated!

    I think 'copy' is not the right term, as it is an original star from 1945 - although in poor condition - with the reverse obviously sandblasted and a bogus number and bogus 'D' added.
