What would be a reasonable price for one with a document, in your opinion please?

How about one without a document?

Thank You for taking your time to share your expertise. :thumbsup

I dunno, $575 isn't through the roof, IMO. Maybe a bit high but not crazy.
What's the serial number range?
IMO the basic, average OR is about $400+ in late 2012.

Hi Eric

I am waiting on the pics, I thought it might be higher because it comes with documentation.

There is another seller offering one without documentation for $400 and another one at $460.

The pics have arrived.

Very high number. Shishkov shows 95,9xx awarded in (or around) 1990 for what that's worth.

What about number 64,434? When do you think that one would have been awarded? Guessing

Eric,

Shishkov has been published quite a few years ago. More up-to-date information indicates 111289 as highest known, and 106462 awards as of 1/1/1995.

Bundtrock,

OOR 52278 was awarded on February 14, 1975
53040 on August 30, 1977
54759 on September 3, 1971
58417 on February 14, 1980
61003 on December 12, 1973
64073 on December 8, 1973
65710 on December 10, 1973
69416 on December 11, 1973
72176 on March 25, 1974
78002 on December 27, 1976
78805 on March 29, 1976

As you can see, the award dates were not in strict order, so it is somewhat difficult to extrapolate things.

Interesting piece . . . the OOR itself looks pretty good, but the number, the patina around the number . . . and according to the numbers issued/dates supplied by the gentlemen here . . . when did the USSR start issuing that particular type of document? When were the stock of 1967 docs exhausted? Those would be my next questions . . .

Bundtrock · 10-06-2012, 09:54 PM

Thank you everyone, I thought the document looked too pristine?

The gentleman will only come down to $535 and I won't pay that.

Thanks again.

Looks like a T6 Knizhka: Орденская книжка Тип 6
Referred to as a V5 in The Red Book which dates it as 1979 to the mid 80s.

Order of the October Revolution #105074, is an early 1990's issue and probably one of the last thousand or so awarded.
