Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't sure of the writing style on the 400,000 series but your links show it as identical. I'll look in researched orders next time.
Thanks again,
Dmitriy

Based on the images you posted, I have doubts regarding its authenticity. See, for example, http://soviet-awards.com/forum/soviet-awards-forums/union-soviet-socialist-republics/soviet-orders/researched-soviet-orders/81917-red-star-0007315-tank-commander-85th-independent-tank-battalion-winter-war.html.

Why do you doubt it's authenticity? I'm curious.....

Well I think as Bill, the circular base of the screw post, seems to be constructed artificially.

The engraver's font, the artificial aging, chemical patination and the visible alteration/adulteration of the reverse. Please compare with known originals, replaced enamel notwithstanding.
