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.
