I would appreciate any information available about this pin. I was told that it is from a Russian officer's uniform. It is supposedly a pin of a Russian Frigate used during WWII. There are a couple of photos of the button on the back of the pin.
Does anyone know anything about this pin? Thanks so much for looking.

Thank you so much, kerry10456!! I really appreciate your comment and will definitely keep an eye on your posts.
Thanks so much for the information. There isn't any red enamel on the star now. Perhaps it's worn off. Maybe someone out there will be able to read the Russian engraving. More than likely it is manufacturer info but I'm always curious. Thanks, AR8Jason.
Thanks for the love petey, pickingupbones, bellin68, and kerry10456.
Thanks for the love jimborasco :)
