Hi!
Can anyone help me identifying this piece? Some say late war,some say pre-war... It is magnetic,and it measures ~22-23mm. It is interesting 'cause hammer has a long neck,and sickle is almost straight at the end. I've seen them on pictures,but they remained "unidentified". Any help?

And here's a photo of curvature-I'd say it is fairly concave. But I'm no expert! :S

Hi,

I would not have said pre war, as they should be in 2 pieces (hammer and sickle fits over the star, afixed with 2 prongs on the rear). I would suggest more late war/early post war variant IMO. There are afew others in here that will be able to advise you on this

Cheers

this is a postwar example. There no such a stars shape known, ww2 produced

Thanks for your replies! Is there any possibility that it was made in 1944-45.? Cause i got it from an old Tito's partisan,who fought in against "Prinz Eugen" in Bosnia,along with Red army in Belgrade operation and Syrmian Front-he claims that he got it in war.
