Order of the Red Star, Type 6, Variation 2 ("MZPP"), #1904539, circa early to mid-1945.

Silver, enamels; 45.9 mm tall x 48.2 mm wide; weighs 29.7 g not including the screw plate. This piece is a relatively scarce version manufactured in 1945 at the Moscow Platinpribor Factory (MZPP). It is from the first, smaller MZPP series with serial numbers 1792001 through 195000. Features characteristically sloppy serial number engraving and very small font of the "Monetnyi Dvor" mint mark which is stamped in straight lines. Unlike some other specimens from this series, the bayonet of the soldier's rifle is of regular length, not "puncturing" the inner band of the medallion. T

Features characteristically sloppy serial number engraving and very small font of the "Monetnyi Dvor" mint mark which is stamped in straight lines. Unlike some other specimens from this series, the bayonet of the soldier's rifle is of regular length, not "puncturing" the inner band of the medallion. The reverse is relatively flat, without a depression in its lower part.

In excellent condition. The enamel shows magnificent luster appears practically perfect to the unaided eye. There are a few tiny contact marks and a single minuscule flake at the tip of the top arm, all of it nearly unnoticeable without magnification. The center medallion is likewise extremely well preserved, has only minimal wear to the high points and a couple of microscopic dings; its details remain exceptionally well- preserved and crisp. There is attractive toning to silver on both sides. The screw post is full length, approx. 11.5 mm, and includes original WW2 era screw plate.
