Charlet,
Are you sure the auction price was 6,000 and not 60,000? That 6,000 seems way too low!!!!
Suvorov 1st class is probably the rarest Soviet order (besides Victory) and hence the most expensive one. Most of the awards are in the museums and will never reach the collectors market.
I heard that a Suvorov 1st belonged to Marshal Sokolov (post WWII award, from 60s or 70s period) was sold to a US collector for around $30,000 two years ago.
There were also rumors of Suvorov 1st belonged to Marshal Bagramyan for sale just recently (within the last couple of years). I am not sure what the price was.
Best,
William
