I recently purchased a Russian-language booklet on the Order of the Red Star. It is by V.A. Boev and entitled Raznovidnosti Ordena "Krasnaya Zveza" (Variants of the Order of the Red Star). It is published in Kiev in 2005 and has 80 pages and 86 color photos, as well as narrative, serial number spreads for encountered types, as well as prices. Interestingly, a Goznak Red Star is priced at $15,000 and the popular 3-pin variety at $1000. He breaks down the Red Stars into six types, and also shows varieties of dublicates, re-awardings, and documents. Interesting.
