Junior Lieutenant Nikolai Konstantinovich Chkhartishvili's Order of the Red Star, #339497. Note the damage to the 3 and 9 o'clock arms appears "fresher", less tarnish, than the seven o'clock arm.

Nice to see this one worked out and what a result! The 414th Division - my favourite. In October 1943 the 414 will have been in the clearing the peninsular of the Temrjuksk District of Krasnodar Kraj after just getting the "Anapa" title,
