WW2 Russian Soviet Order of the Red Star No 2123707

The WW2 Russian Soviet Order of the Red Star No 2123707 is an original military decoration awarded by the Soviet Union. Established in 1930, the Order of the Red Star was given to military personnel for exceptional service in the defense of the Soviet Union in both combat and non-combat roles. The decoration consists of a five-pointed red enamel star with a central medallion featuring a silvered image of a soldier carrying a rifle. Below the soldier, the Cyrillic inscription reads “Proletarians of all countries, unite!” and the acronym “USSR” is also present. The reverse side is plain, bearing the unique serial number 2123707. This serial number indicates the award was issued during or immediately after the Second World War, as each piece was individually numbered. The order measures approximately 47 mm across and is typically made from silver and red enamel. This item represents an important piece of Soviet military history.
