Red Star,0820415,Mounted Messenger,160th Separate Battalion Of Communications

I have some major reservations about this one.

Attachment 36101Attachment 36102Attachment 36103

The place of the mint mark worries me along with the braising around the post.
That said i do know very, very little about phaleristics in general

The screwback plate is light and indented, I've never come across this before.

Attachment 36107

I read up on the number range and found that it was just a few thousand lower than the first recorded long service award.

I was concerned by the "too good to be true factor" as well.

Attachment 36110

Does the number not kind of leap off the page a bit?

I can feel my spirits begin to rise...I might just have secured myself a fascinating bargain :D

I also have a Medal for Valiant Labor (1977) and 1985 OPW, both with order books for the same man, Anatoly Semyonovic Svyeshenok.
If they all hold true I will have a great bit of research to get stuck into!

Thanks for the feedback!

Here is the original citation. Not a long service award to Anatolij Semenovich Sveschenok.

Based solely on the photographs/scans provided, my best guess would be the screw post was repaired at some point, nevertheless it remains an original piece, in my opinion.
