I'm not very good with value questions. One of the reliable/rational dealers has one now for $25 with (blank) document. Does that help?

All questions welcome always. In this case, amazingly, there were some answers!

Just to add that the one shown here seems to be attached to a real Order of Lenin's supension and ribbon. It is not the Umlalatova's Order of Stalin ribbon.

Cheers.
