As you can see most follow a similar trend with lots being awarded in 1945, but 3007835 is an odd one. This was awarded to a Lithuanian so I wonder if Soviet authorities were in no hurry at the end of the war to give out awards to certain republics, especially previously occupied ones. Maybe he was under investigation after the war and eventually proved innocent of whatever? Who knows?
I am quite gald to post this list. There is some real rubbish written on Ebay about dates of Red Star awards. I am sure I once saw a claim that a 600,000 Red Star suggested a date of a Battle of Moscow award, and a 100,000 Red Star suggesting a date of a Finnish war award.
:rolleyes:
I hope this is useful
