Hello and welcome,
Actually there are three types and a number of variations of the Order of the Red Star.
This is also the case with most Soviet Orders.
It probably would be best if you purchased Paul McDaniel's "The Comprehensive Guide to Soviet Orders and Medals"
You might find the book on ebay for $75.00 or so.
It will explain the differences and types of most of the Soviet medals and orders.
Actually this book is the reference by which most Soviet medals are compared.
In addition, the members of this forum are extremely knowledgeable and will gladly answer additional questions.
I wish you the best!
