Hello.
Isn't it weird that there is no hammer and sickle at the center of the star ? The bullion outline surprises me as well, but I certainly won't say that I am an expert in that field.

NKVD officer sleeve stars. No hammer/sickle indeed.

Thank you.
I don't think that ever saw one of these before.

Thanks for the information. Well helped.

The star emblem is also not very familiar to me, but is it such a NKVD sleeve emblem as shown in the photo posted by Marcel?
