Historical reference.

The red star is the symbol of the Red Army. Officially, this symbol was established in 1918 as a badge in the form of a wreath of laurel and oak branches with a red star inside, a plow and a hammer were placed in the center of the star. And in this year, a badge-cockade for headgear appeared in the form of a five-pointed star covered with red enamel with a plow and a hammer in the centre. Throughout history, the appearance of the star has undergone minor changes, but the key concept of the star was relevant until 1991.

In the pre-war years, the following classification of stars can be distinguished based on size:

for a cap - 24 mm,
for privates or non-commissioned officers - 34 mm,
for officers - 37 mm,
to the peakless cap - 30 mm.

At the same time, the actual dimensions of the stars during production were not perfectly accurate, deviations could be up to 2 mm. Often, different rays of one star could have not exactly the same dimensions.
