Christian Zulus Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Dear Paul,I had to pay about USD 300,- for my ORB 3rd award, type 4, s/n. 8426, in january 1994 in Vienna - a lot of money at that time, but a bargain compared to the present situation .Best regards ChristianThanks Christian!! I agree completely. I bought the order back in 92, when things were still affordable!! I remember scoffing a "3" because it was close to 250 dollars!

Christian Zulus Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) What would they go for now?Dear Paul,taking the weak Dollar into consideration, I guess, that a dealer might ask for an ORB #2 about USD 2000,- and for an ORB #3 more than USD 3000,- (for items in really excellent condition). For "numbered" ORBs, which are already researched and the result shows, that they are no long-service awards, the asked price might be much higher, I assume."Numbered" ORBs in rather "normal" documented & complete groups might push the asked price for such a collection into "stratospheric" heights - imagine: A "normal" officers-group, but with ORB, ORB #2, ORB#3 & ORB #4 inside (and the ORB #4 is the only long-service ORB) ... So, your purchase of an ORB #3 for USD 250,- in 1992 would have been a rather good investment .Best regards ChristianBTW: I already posted my mentioned RB#2 & RB#3 here at GMIC:RB#2: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=24254RB#3: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=24256 Edited January 9, 2008 by Christian Zulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
