Red Star.

But I saw that the range of v4.3 goes from 1222238 to 1551724, may not be...:confused:
I don't know the length of the mintmark, but should be 9-10 mm.
Then v4.1 or v4.2

It's only
"Known serial number range" ;) you can contact them and show new minimal number

Hi Guys,

Here's a very nice Red Star, Awarded 8th February 1943,... How do I know this ? because It says so in the excellent reference book Echoes of War. ( Available for sale from member Desantnik :thumbsup )

So It looks like sometime in the past, someone has had some research done, and this star Is part of It

If you recognise it as part of a group that you own, get in touch.


Cheers.

Nick.:)

Thanks for the "shout out". Since Echoes with the help of many here I've collected over 450 pages of serial numbers showing conclusive proof of blocks of awardings.

Try posting your RS here in the serial number database and you may get a hit.

Good luck:thumbsup

Have you considered publishing an Echoes 2.0? I think many would appreciate it...

I'm sure there is more than just "consideration" going on if Paul has gone to the trouble to continue to collect all the data he has.;)

What do you guys think about this RS, other than it being 2,800,000 series? Hopeless number right? Well, at least I think it's post-war...
Always interesting to guess why it was defaced..

Thanks!

2865151 or so it looks most like after manipulation.

Thanks, I also think the last 4 digits are 5151 or 3151... it's that third digit that's so difficult. :thumbsup

George,

Fairly usual happening. Selling OMDs being forbidden in Russia, the recipient (or one of his heirs) obliterated the SN so that this order could not be traced back to them :cool:
