Russian Medal ?

[Jan Arne S]

Hi Guys !
I need your help with this medal .
I get this medal together with some German Medals from a widow after an Norwegian Home Resistance Office . Medal lot on 28 medal . Some of the medals was denazified . And this medal was among 27 German Medals from WW1 and WW2 .
What kind of medal is this , and what is the value on this medal .

Back of medal !

It seems to me to be a good example of a "nothing". Looks like a Soviet cap star attached to a Rumanian anti-Communist campaign ribbon.

Value? Like the name: nothing.

A WW2 period enlisted/general issue all ranks Soviet cap star with prongs intact like this is worth about $5, and I'd say the same for the useful length of Rumanian ribbon to somebody with the medal without a ribbon.

"Spare parts" are always useful for you never know when you might "need" something.

At first glance this appears to be...

... a cap device. Does anyone know what it really is? No fair peeking in "The Tinnie War" thread!

[Ralph A]

No replies?

Hint: it's not Soviet. The reverse:

No one gives

a hoot an' a holler?

Isn't that a badge from the German Communist Party ?

[Ralph A]

That is correct!

Frank has identified the pin.

[Frank Scheepers]

Woohoo ,
Not bad for a newby eh

[Ralph A]

Actually,

we just use the pin to flush out the commies!

Welcome, Comrade.

Hehe...
