Order of the Red Star

[Pansa75]

This is my first post in this forum, so first of all a big hello everyone! This forum seems like the perfect place!

So, I have a question about the first order I ever bought and for a quite low price i might add. Since then I have been thinking about it from time to time. Any chance it is a fake?

There are experts among you guys, so if you could help with some info I´d appreciate it very much.

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the forum!

You have a nice original Order of the Red Star or Орден Красной Звезды that was most likely awarded in 1944.

Cheers, Ade.

Nice original spring 1944 award.

Very nice indeed! Have you thought of having it researched?

Thanks Bill and Auke!

Yes I have thought about it but must be honest and say that I dont really know how to proceed with the research. Who to contact and where to start, and how much it would cost.

But it would be nice indeed. Time to investigate

Thanks again guys for welcoming a new member on the forum.

I will look into this right away! A big thanks for the tip!

It´s a shame, I should have done it a long time ago. The star should not be anonymous any longer!
