Thanks for your quick answer. Is this a common badge (cheap) since it is not silver?

Best regards

This badge isn't common, but certain Imperial Russian badges are more desirable than others.  Specifically, the enameled badges can expect higher prices.  However, fakes are a problem.  This badge, if legit, could be worth over 4,000 Kr.

I am sure it is legit, however it is one of the more common Imperial badges. One would have done well to get that price at the height of the market

Thanks again!

So if I understand you right, I might get 500 USD if I am lucky?

Correct.  That is what Paul is saying.  I thought $500 was a minimum, but apparently the value on these has slumped.
