An authentic World War II Soviet Order of the Red Star Medal, commonly referred to by collectors as the "Pyatka" variant, dating to the early wartime production period of 1943. Instituted in 1930, the Order of the Red Star was awarded to members of the Soviet Armed Forces for exceptional courage, outstanding military service, and distinguished contributions to the defense of the Soviet Union.
This example features the classic five-pointed red enamel star design with a central silver medallion depicting a Red Army soldier standing guard with rifle in hand. The surrounding inscription translates to "Workers of the World, Unite!", with the prominent hammer and sickle emblem positioned below. The reverse retains its original wartime construction and displays the maker mark of Monetny Dvor (Soviet Mint) along with its serial number, confirming its wartime manufacture.
The medal remains in excellent condition, with vibrant red enamel showing only minor handling wear. The silvered details remain sharp and well-defined, while the reverse markings are clear and easily legible. The screw-back mounting assembly is complete and functions properly, making this an attractive and highly collectible example of one of the Soviet Union's most iconic combat decorations.
A desirable wartime Soviet award that would make an outstanding addition to any WWII, Soviet, or military medal collection.
