Thanks! Not planning on stopping anytime soon.

Just found your channel. I love it. It's great to see another fellow collector. Keep it up.

Hell yeah another good video impressed as usual

Very concise

Love these - they’re very collectible. Another notable difference between wartime and postwar variants is the medal in the centre. The soldier tends to be leaning further forwards in examples from the 50s onward, with his budenovka being under the T rather than the C. His foot is also turned out towards our left more, whereas wartime variants have his foot pointing towards us. The lettering I believe also changed slightly, although that may have just came with newer award regulations ( no longer wearing the red star at every moment)

Nice I want to get a order of the red star, it does look very nice

Cool. I'll have to look up the one I own.

I got one with number 504470 seems issued during 1943. Don’t know how to find its owner

My great grandfather had it. He fought in the war as a tank driver

How can you research the number

Nice medal. I have four of those. One issued to cook, second to female doctor, third to Nkvd officer and fourth to Smersh officer

they are cool. I got a "cheaper" one, where one tip of the star is was damaged (the enamel on it) and then fixed. I will most likely buy some more of them. Thank you for this video, subscribed....

These two sites have information about serial number ranges, issue dates based on serial numbers, and variations of the Order of the Red Star: mondvor.narod.ru/ORStar.html www.aukedevlieger.nl/ranges.htm#ors To find out exactly who your Red Star belonged to you will have to pay someone to pull the records from Russian military archives. That's how I got the information about one of mine. If your serial number shows it was issued before 1946 then it is worth it to have the records pulled.

@@leoproductions5349 There are a few different people who do it. This is who I used: sovietorders.com/our-services/researching-soviet-awards/ I am not sure if the war has affected access to the archives though, just something to keep in mind. 1943 is a promising year!

I love the topics. Especially when there is no one around me that are in to the same interests that I have. At least I can have some kind of comradeship when I watch this type of media. You have beautiful specimens in the form of cannon rounds. After many years of searching, I too come across a once in a life time opportunity to acquire some of these WW2 antique and authentic cannon rounds. So far, I have 3 out of 4 that are the real deal cannon rounds. Keep up with this type of interesting material ⭐️😊

Glad that you like the videos and thanks for supporting the channel! It is definitely difficult to find people who are also interested in these items. That is one of the reasons why I started making these, because I had no one to talk to about them! Thanks for complementing my aircraft cannon rounds, those are hard to find! It took a long time to build my collection of those but I am very proud of it. Good luck with your collection!

Maybe I will make one on the entire collection at some point. I am working on a video right now about the MG 151 and it will include a section with my 20x82mm cartridges. I wish there was a way to share pictures in the comments so I could show you my cannon cartridges.

@@MilitariaReviewed Hopefully in a month or so I will have the MG 151 cartridge . As of now , one of the cartridges I have is a 20x82. Beautiful round and one of my favorites. I will, eventually, get just about all of the rounds I wanted that were used in WW2. The problem I have is to acquire the Soviet ShVAK 20 mm cannon round. When I do find one it is too expensive. Maybe we can help one another if you would like.

@@markelalagoz7363 best of luck acquiring the MG 151 cartridge. I have a single ShVAK cartridge, an HEI round. It was difficult to find but I got it for a good price. Send me an email sometime and I can put you in touch with the man I bought it from.

If I was back in the USSR, I'd do my best to get two of those and then pin them on my shirt directly over my nips.

Putin would be proud.
