PQuigley,
This is a army hat/cap badge, most likely from the 1950~60's. Marc |

Re: Red Star Hat / Lapel Pin ?
Yes, what Marc said. It's a nice enamel one but not that rare. Good for display if nothing else as they look much nicer then the later, alloy and paint versions. The versions previous had a seperately applied H&S.

Re: Red Star Hat / Lapel Pin ?
Typical red star, I have loads of these. In fact, they are still being produced by Russian authorities, they are common and cheap.
This one looks from the older period, you will be able to tell which period its from by simply looking at it, the older ones look more plain, the new ones are more flashy, but they all have the same characteristics and size. |

Most of the Russian military, while de jure has switched to new symbols, still de facto uses the old ones, nameley red stars and not just for the hats, but on their vehicles and so on. |

OK, that is clearer. However, you failed to notice one extremely important detail in our case: these stars are made of enameled brass; since the early 1960's, they were made of cold-enameled aluminum. Marc |

I think its plainly obvious this is one of the older pieces, due to the construction, newer ones are flashy. I have both new and old in my collection and he has pretty much the same as me. |

Aside from that, I guess you could try watching a video on their Victory Day parades. I have some of the newer stars here, but there is nothing to tell weather they were produced in the USSR or the RF, since I know for a fact they entered production in the USSR and its allies before the collapse. If you want, I could try to give you a scan, but remember that this dosen't mean they come from the RF, in fact, I think they come from the USSR. |
