They're authentic late pieces (c1990s) although the lack of numbering and wear my be signs of them being unissued. Certainly not worth 3 digits of anyone's money. I wouldn't be surprised if these were slowly churned out year in year, one at a time, keeping the market price inflated. If the demand goes I'm sure they will be hidden away again until a certain price can be obtained but there are vast stockpiles of these and other "high end" DPRK awards with the supply being carefully controlled to keep prices up. I've seen some stockpiles so I'm not interested in paying inflated prices.
