Both look good to me. Late 1944 and early 1945 awards.

Hard to tell with images.
I dunno why some sellers think the 'artsy' images are an enhancement.
I think they are distracting for the most part.
I also wonder that sometimes some may tried to hide a blemish
or flaw behind those images.

[Eric Gaumann]

It's probably OK. Later RSs are generally pretty straight forward.
Usually a cheat would alter a book to maych the order's number,
mot the other way 'round.
Is the CSM noted in the book included?

A tip that I use when searching internet auction sites: if I come across
something questionable I check the seller's current and finished auctions.
If he's got more than a couple questionable items I just move along.

I´ve just ask for more photos to the dealer. I´ll put it here if he answers me.

The book of the order comes with the order.

Have to agree here. I usually get suspicious when I see such photos. Normal and "boring" straight on pics are the best in my opinion.

The dealer of the last Order of the Red Star send me this new photos:

The star is good, but I really don't like the booklet.

You think the book is a fake?

Thanks.

I'm guessing he thinks it may be altered to match the award number, or perhaps a complete, bogus entry.
The ink, to me, might be felt-tip or ball point; neither of which are correct for the period.

I think those RS are genuine. But as some people said, the concesion book writing is like done by modern pen ("del tipo boligrafo bic").
