Simon,

The suspension was cut from a multiple place one.

Nicely attached pin & clasp - I guess the local jeweller had a go at this one.

And, unfortunately, covered up/destroyed the serial number in the process?

Yes, but I don't think it was done by a Russian jeweller - he would not have covered the number, and this type of clasp is not used in Russia.

I agree with Ed - this piece IS ruined.

The clasp construction looks german to me.

Guys,

I seem to remember that piece, and I believe that at the time it was mentioned that it had been awarded to a Romanian (general?).
