Civil War Veterans Badge.
Red Star, Civil War type 1918-1922
Has anyone details on this Order ? "An early forerunner of the Red Star for gallantry was awarded during the Civil War of 1918-1922. During this time, of conflict, units of the Red Army were self-supporting and produced their own insignia. The award consisted of a heavy silver disc with an outer wreath of laurel forming a circle, at the base of the wreath were the impressed letters "1919 CCCP 1922", and surimposed was a large red enameled five-pointed star with hammer and sickle in gold. The reverse is plain except for the impressed details : CCCP for Bravery 2nd Class, plus the award number and date of bestowal. The ribbon is red.(...) The early issue red Stars are believed to have been exchanged for the official Order of the Red Star in 1930." These informations come from John Clarke's book : "Gallantry Medals & Decorations of the World", published in 2001 by Leo Cooper. Is this story exact ? it is not mentioned in PMD's book, but in others ? Has someone more details on this medal ? A picture ? Many thanks. Ch. |
