The Red Army star of 1918

An original and extremely rare small-sized star. Bronze, enamel. The enamel chips are visible in the photo. A crossed plow and a hammer are depicted in the very center of the star. The plow symbolized the peasantry, and the hammer symbolized the working class. Later, in 1922, this emblem was replaced by the more familiar hammer and sickle. Judging by the remains of the attachment, it was intended to be worn on a cap or a budenovka, and not on a kraskom sign. Guarantee of authenticity. Stars with preserved original enamel are very rare.
