Re: 1936 pattern cap star.
Nice pick up , Ade. You don't see this type very often , in fact I can't remember seeing one before with the hammer and sickle turned that way. Is this typical for the per war stars? Also, the number is intriguing . Maybe it has something to do with the soldier or his regt.?

Re: 1936 pattern cap star.
Thanks Dean.
I reckon it was assembled by someone with a hangover!
The number has me beat. Maybe Richie might have seen this before?

Re: 1936 pattern cap star.
Hehe, yeah..too much state issued vodka! He was lucky the political officer wasn't watching him assemble it! "Straight to the gulag in deep Siberia!" Lol. Yeah, i wonder what Richie thinks about the number. Thanks again for sharing this, Ade.

Most stars in my collection came from GI vet lots. It was a popular thing to trade stuff with the Soviets for these. I recall even reading a GI diary entry about meeting up with a Soviet soldier to exchange something for his cap star.
I would think that the Tommies had similar experiences.
