Art,
I believe it's a small and slightly curved mintmark variation. Also the number is too high for the large mintmark.

My mistake, you are correct Alexei, the highest number for the large curved MONDVOR is 7,821. This is the small, slightly curved mintmark, with highest number being 10,428.

Alexei,
Do you have the rest of this group? If so, could you post a picture? Looks really interesting.
All the best,
Doug

Guys
I would like to ask a favour.
When you submit pictures of award docs, please can you translate the awardees name for us that out there that do not read Russian.
thanks

Gentlemen,
The name is Portnov, Lev Pavlovich. I have received only this documented Red Star, and have just sold it. Now my supplier informs me that he is sending me another dozen of items belonging to him. Makes me so mad!

During which years were these smaller Red Stars awarded?

Sergey,
I think most of them were awarded in 1939-1940.
