Everything seems okay to me. The wires holding the star on through the back are indicative of that low serial number (probably mid to late 1970s). It's a beautiful piece with no damage from what I can see to the star and the hilt of the sword still has 99% of its gold plating still intact. :thumbsup I am inclined to say that it is authentic with the reservation that I can't see close-ups of the enamel and the text in the ribbon. If you can get closer shots of the ribbon thst would be great. If you used a digital camera, Windows Photo Gallery will allow you to just the three sections of the ribbon.
You implied you had more. What other KGB shield and sword badges can you show us?
