Yes. How many do you need?

I ask that because I want to see more photos, because by now I don't have it.

thanks!

Way too good to be true.

The suspension ring on the "Odessa" - even if it is a really bad repair job - doesn't make the medal real. And the ring on the "Sevastopol" is just sad [quotation marks added for emphasis on the alleged names of these two medals;)].

However, the other two seem fine. Plus, you managed to get two of the three variations of Lenin's 100th medals (labor and military) - the third (given to foreign socialists-communists) is just about impossible to find.:)

Thanks for your answers, I didn't bid for the four medals, is so surrealistic combination...

However, I saw the third version of 100th Lenin's birthday, 1700$ hahahaha:laff

Given the prices for some of the rarer items these days, I'm not surprised at all at that amount. In fact, with only around 5000 of these out there (real ones), I would have expected the price to be even higher. At the same time, they would be incredibly easy and inexpensive to fake. The only trick would be getting the clasp right (it's a slightly larger version of the type on the 50th anniversary of KPSS membership badges).
