georgiy Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Ostvölker - Tapferkeitsauszeichnung 2. Klasse in Gold, mit Schwerten. No marks. Please, help me to identify: original or fake? cost? Thanks, Georgiy Edited December 25, 2014 by georgiy
georgiy Posted December 26, 2014 Author Posted December 26, 2014 Thank you, Robin! And what will be approximate cost for it, you think?
georgiy Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Around $100 USD. 100 USD!? USD? are you sure? this item is 250 euro now on sale from very reliable seller. i am very surprised. Edited January 13, 2015 by georgiy
paul wood Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 They have increased in value due to interest from Russian buyers.Paul
georgiy Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 may be, may be you are right, paul! as i saw russian offers in internet (ukraine, russia) it were from 100 USD sometimes to 200 and more EURO for 2nd class and 300 and more EURO for 1st class Ostvolks. is it ok?
Paul R Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 It is a nice looking medal and pretty reasonably priced based upon the rarity. I bet that not many exist these days, especially in the higher grades.

Jock Auld Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 There are plenty out there of the various grades if you do a search and most at a fair price. They may be out of your grasp though as a lot of folks don't ship outside their own back yard? That is a lot of money, well over here anyway!
Paul R Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Since there is no swastika on these medals, are they banned for sale/display in Europe? Are they as regulated as the more common stuff.
georgiy Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 I'll have to upgrade my insurance !! wow! WOW! nice collection! what do you mean "upgrade your insurance"? i am not very good in this idiom.
paul wood Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 They are particularly nice if you can get the first class with box of issue or envelopes of issue for the other classes but beware, the envelopes especially are faked.Paul
Dave Danner Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Sorry I do not have a better scan, but here is an example of the markings on the ring of a 2nd Class:
speedytop Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Hi Paul, ... are they banned for sale/display in Europe? No, there are no limitations, a veteran could wear it oficially. Uwe
georgiy Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Sorry I do not have a better scan, but here is an example of the markings on the ring of a 2nd Class: Ostvolk 100 stempel 2.jpg in general, "100" - is the most popular mark for this medal.
