Enameled star with plow and hammer symbol in the circle. Suitable for military-historical reenactment of 1918.

The red star is one of the most famous symbols of the Russian army. In early versions, the symbols of the plow and hammer were in the center of the star, later they were replaced by the symbol of the hammer and sickle.

Each member of the Red Army had to wear such a star on the band of his cap or on his hat. In addition, at personal request, they were allowed to wear a second such star on shirts and overcoats.

Price for 1 star. Can be produced with either red or white middle. Stars are also available painted, not enameled.

Historical reference.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.

Since 1936, the stars began to be divided by size, depending on the headgear for which they were intended:

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.
