It's the Order of Liberation, 3rd class. It cost me RMB2000(around US$250). I think I paid too much for it, but sometimes I am out of control, if I really want to get it. The reasonable range is from rmb1000-2000, depends on the condition of medals. For this one, the condition is average.

250$ is not that much. I think it would sell for more on Ebay :D ;)

It is not that difficult to find these orders, but the price have been doubled in last two years. It is just crazy. At the moment, there are no fakes because the quality is quite good and it might be made by Soviet Union. It is not easy to fake. If the price keeps going up, fakes will come up soon.

I think 250$ is a good price...we can't find them inEurope...and a friend of mine who travels relatively often in Beijing and Shanghai has always been told this orders were unfindable...comparable in quality and historic interest to Kutuzovs...And fakes are now current in chinese markets for these historic orders...

Yes, these medals are very difficult to find overseas. but as far as I am concerned, there are no good fakes for these orders. some are reproductions,easy to identify. It is for sure that chinese medals are not as popular as the soviet medals. I just wondering how many people are interested in chinese orders compared with those of North Kerea and Monglia in Europe or US.
you're right about copies, they seem too new to be honest.
But about copies, the question is not the european or us demand (it is very low I suppose, like you) but chinese demand...I was explained it is now very high from southern China collectors...
