Exceptionally Early Soviet Russian Order of the Red Star, Type I "GOZNAK", No.47, 1931. Manufactured by GOZNAK, 1931. Silver and translucent red enamel, with the original early central medallion depicting a Red Army soldier and inscription in Cyrillic. The reverse bears the rectangular maker's mark and the remarkably low serial number 47, placing this example among the very earliest production of the Order. Early multi-piece construction with threaded screw post and original large domed screwback nut. A particularly desirable example of the first and rarest type of the Order of the Red Star, distinguished by its extremely low two-digit serial number. Diameter: 47.3mm. Weight: 30.95 g including screwback nut.
