Hello,

is the black and white version of the 30 years anniversary of army and navy
ducement rare? Rarer as the coloured type ?

I saw an auction on a russian internet-side and somebody paid nearly 100 USD
for the b/w document.
Any oppinions about curent market value?

Andreas,

It is in my opinion scarcer, but I would not call it rare, and definitely not pay anywhere near $100 for it.

Andreas,

I would say almost as common as the colored booklet. Prices are $2-3 for the colored one and $3-4 for the b/w.

Alexei, I would pay 20 USD for black and white document as shown above by Alfred. Seriously.

Mondvor,

Welcome to the forum!

You know something I don't :) Well, actually I know that they are rare, but nobody ever collected them, so what changed?

[MONDVOR]

Well, Alexei, I don't know much about this variation. But it is late edition. Probably printed some years later in addition to the main edition. As you know, there were two main variations of medal - with somewhat flattened file-polished ring (main early variation - top picture) and with circular ring (later variation - bottom picture).
So I would bring this black-and-white document into a corellation with later medal with a circular ring. Maybe people do not pay much attention on the documents variations, but personally I do like documents very much. So if you find such black-and-white booklet please let me know.
Thanks!
