Awards to famous historical figures

Hello Gentlemen,

I'd like to start a discussion on premiums added to the awards that belonged to someone famous.

Recently I was offered high order from Kingdom of Bulgaria. This was my first time when I had a chance to acquire rather unique award, which was issued to a high ranking official from European country. The guy actually was a minister of Foreigh affars, which was supported by the award certificate.

This started me thinking: what if I had an opportunity to buy some awards which belonged to a prominent person from the Soviet history? What kind of a premium would I expect to pay?

Hence the question for all of you:

say someone comes to you and offers something common, like Order GPW 2cl, medal for Victory over Germany or one of the jubily medal? None of these awards would be anytrhing extraordinary or expensive (GPW II costs under $30, Victory and Jubilee medal both are under $10) on their own, but what kind of premium would you pay for these if they belonged to some well-known Soviet minister, marshal or politician?

For the sake of authenticity, lets say each of these awards comes with the proper documentation.

How much would you value these with the award certicicates if they belonged to a Soviet minister, marshal or politician:

1) GPW II
2) Vicory over Germany medal
3) 50 Yrs of Soviet Army

Would you pay 10 times thier normal price (ie $300 for GPW 2cl)?

Let the discussion start!

Best regards,
New World
