Beautiful Gold Star Medal and Order of Lenin to Hero of the Soviet Union Major Boris Tarasovich Pischikevich (Борис Тарасович Пищикевич)
Rare ‘transitional’ piece which was produced with the same stamp as the stars with the early suspension. The most noticeable difference is the spacing between the C’s in CCCP. Unlike the later types the distance between the 1st and 2nd ‘C’ is larger than the space between the 2nd and 3rd ‘C’. Only a couple of hundred pieces would fit the criteria for this transitional variation.
