Sebastian,
Nice pics! The Hero of Cuba "Gold Star" is a hollow, Silver Star with Gold Gilt. Established in 1963 and Awarded only 48 times. Two holders are Fidel Castro himself and Leonid Breschnew. The one on offer is from General Ochoa ex Chief of Staff of Cuban Troops abroad especially in the Angola conflict. General Ochoa was executed in 1992 as a Drug Dealer! Eddie.

Here is the resolution awarding this title to General Ochoa (01.01.84) :
"Resolution No 251 Resolution No 251 issued by the Cuban Council of State on 1 January 1984, read by Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, first secretary of the party Central Committee and president of the Councils of State and Ministers at the former municipal town hall in Santiago de Cuba. recorded] "The Council of State of the Republic of Cuba, by the powers vested in it, and at the request of its president, has approved the following Resolution No 251: 1. To grant the honorary title of Hero of the Republic of Cuba and the Order of Maximo Gomez to Division General Arnaldo Ochoa Sanchez in recognition of his extraordinary merits in the insurrectional struggle against the tyranny and the imperialist neocolonial domination, the struggle for the consolidation and defense of the socialist state, and the accomplishment of heroic internationalist missions. Of humble peasant origin, Comrade Ochoa Sanchez, as a teenager rebelled against the tyranny in the Cauto plains early in 1958. Later, he joined the Sierra Maestra's first front where he participated in several combats. Because of his great qualities as a guerrilla, Ochoa Sanchez was chosen to form part of the Antonio Maceo Column headed by Camilo Cienfuegos. He participated in the heroic invasion as far as the country's central region. The liberation struggle ended while he was in that region at the time when he was a captain in the rebel army. Loyal to his insurrectional struggle on behalf of our people's most legitimate interests -- their liberation, sovereignty, and independence -- Comrade Ochoa Sanchez has been involved in a hard, growing, and praiseworthy effort to organize and strengthen the Revolutionary Armed Forces where he was held various positions. In adverse and difficult conditions, Comrade Ochoa Sanchez has carried out several internationalist missions with a particular spirit of sacrifice. He has thus shown his ideological firmness, courage, and talent at the service of the cause of national liberation and socialism. These missions include the brilliant performance as commander of the Cuban troops in Ethiopia which backed the resistance and the heroic battle of the Ethiopian Armed Forces and masses against foreign intervention."

Wow! Sush beauties!
What's the opening bid for these Stars on the auction? William

William,
"Gold Star" €1,500 "Labour Star" € 600 General Espinosa was awarded the medal of Hero of the Republic of Cuba in 1989. His participation in the difficult campaign in Angola probably won him that medal. In December 1989, Espinosa was one of the first to receive the military medal "Por la Victoria Cuba-Angola," awarded to all veterans of the war. Eddie

Do you mean there are two of them currently on sale? I've never seen one before, and suddenly there are two of them, hmmm.... BTW, they seem to be slightly different, or it is my imagination? Alexei
