Hello -
I thought that it would be many years before I saw one of these - but in my humble opinion, this appears to be a reproduction of some sorts! The star is way too small from all of my references (books, auction catalogues, etc...) the tips of the star should reach the edge of the 'star bursts'. This applies to every grade from 1st class to the 3rd class. The enamel is very poor. It should be a very deep red, similar to early Soviet orders. This enamel is very transparent! These were produced from 1949 to 1956. I have these photos for reference of a set that in my opinion was made after 1956 for museum purposes. (the case is a post 1956 variety) As you can see (even though the photo is not 100% great!) the enamel of the star is still very deep. Secondly I don't like the reverse - it does not conform to the patter than I have seen on this cased set or the others that I have handled. At its best - this may be a privately manufactured piece, but as it required special permission from the government to make awards from 1949 to 1989, I am doubtful. What are the specific dimensions? Backing and the star? |
