To the issue of prices in Russia vs prices in the US.

On one of the Russian collector sites a member put several awards for sale. They had some sort of auction where seller annonced his starting prices and invited interested parties to e-mail him with the offers, finally selling to the highest bidder.

First price in parentheses is opening price - next one is the final price:
1) Hero Soc Labor - #31** ($450-450).
2) Mother Hero - #38*** plus Order Book with Voroshilov signature ($80-90).
3) Red Banner Labor 1928, #1*** ($4500-5000).
4) Red Banner, screwback #44*** ($100-100) some enamel damage.
5) Red Banner screwback, #3** (2nd award) - $200-800 - enamel damage.
6) Ushakov medal #11*** ($200-200).

All awards were sold to the same bidder.

Best regards,
New World

This is the same web dealer that sells Red Stars at $50-60.

I bet he'll never sell Lenin at this price, at least not at eBay...

Hi All,

I believe he had sold at least two of them, and he has another one for sale right now, same ridiculous price.

Yes, high price, BUT look at the Ordenskaya Knizhka, it is one of the last types from the last years of the USSR.

I don't see many OK of this type.

Tal,

I agree that late Order Books are rarer.

But still - with 360,000 3rd class Labor Glories issued, huge quantities of common 2nd type and non-combatant nature of this award - opening price of $49 is on the the very top of high range.

Tal,

What's so special about this order book then?

I'm interested I have this one of these, for an OLG 2nd class issued in 1983. I also have the OLG 3rd class for this lady issued in 1974, but that has a different cover.

Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.

Hi

It is not SO special, but there are at least 8 variants of the Ordenskaya Knizhka, and this is type 7. There is a place for ONE award only, and you can see the different design of the cover as well.

There is a variation in bright red, and in Brownish-red as well.

Tal

I recently noticed an increase in the price for the medal "for development of virgin land", and the medal for the defence of kiev.
