Order of Labor Glory III class, type 2, without document, sold at eBay for 49 USD yesterday. I think that is quite much.

Just sold on E! (right before my eyes)

"Order of Suvorov 3rd Class: WW II issue, type 3. In sterling silver and enamel, mint marked, serial numbered 9331, with 'certificate of authenticity' (COA) by Paul D. McDaniel Jr: "This is an original Soviet Order, with only a small chip out of the second "C" on the obverse. There are many small dings and scratches on the obverse of the order also. The reverse is in good condition, with only a few, small scratches. The order measures 26.0 mm from the center to any star tip and weighs 25.6 grams. The mint mark is stamped in two lines, at the 12 o'clock position, on the reverse. The serial number is hand-engraved, at the 5 o'clock position, on the reverse. The order has a medium-heavy patina. This order rates a 7, out of a possible 10, for condition." COA issued 9 January 2000. With original screw plate. An absolutely outstanding example of this extremely rare Soviet Order."
