Red Star.

It's a very common hand writting for this range. Made by MMD in 1943.

Alexei,
Is the pebbled look and feel on the reverse common for MMD made pieces or is it just an anomoly in the manufacturing process for this time period?

As found on the e-channel: this heavily worn/polished Red Star.

[desantnik]

That's a rather funky serial number. I don't know whether it looks like that due to the heavy polishing or as a result of being polished off and reapplied...

[EricFG]

Sticks out like a sore thumb, don't it? :) I'm thinking the best and assuming the guy who polished the red out of the front for 60 years 're-engraved" his serial number (and his name) as he was so proud of his achievments in the GPW.
Fear naught, I ain't bidding.

[Nota Bene]

It's fairly common, yes.

Looks like an earlier "Platinopribor" number. Would it be possible to see a complete picture of it?

Any idea of the year of issue for this recently purchased Order of The Red Star? :) No: 804.390

My Red Star No: 3.280.341 was awarded in 1954. Possible Long Service awardee

For me:
MMD T6,V3 (10/1944-12/1944)

[EricFG]

For me:
MMD T6,V3 (10/1944-12/1944)

Yep. More than likely 1944, probably the later part of the year. Small chance it's a long service RS but even so a LS award in 44 would be a good thing.

I would like an opinion...
I can not understand that variation is,
I get confused between a T.6V4.1 or T6V4.2
The letter д , the mint seems different

Thanks in advance :)
PS
Sorry for my too intrusive in the forum,
