Help needed

Hello, somebody is offering me this order . Because I know many fakes exist, I would like to hear your opinion about this piece. What should be the fair price for the original?

Any idea on the manufacturing date/year of the medal?

To my very untrained eye the medal seems to be in pristine condition for a medal that's, for argument's sake, 20-30 years old.

But it's better if the more knowledgeable members voice their opinion...I might be completely wrong and in that case will gladly accept being corrected.

Hi there,

It looks fine to me.... on my phone.1945 type.

Definitely  an unawarded bank escapee from back in the day.  I think 400 produced and highest known is 398 so this one is about as high as you can get..

Take a look at this long thread for more info.

Price? Who knows these days. Haven’t seen one for sale in years other than on collectrussia which has #60 for sale for a little under 2k.

If I were in the market for one and had to have one. Maybe $1200-1350 for this serial number. Honestly, I don’t think it’s worth more than $800-900.

I am speculating and basing this on what I’d be willing to part with if I had to have it.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks too much. The dealer is asking USD 1 200,- what corresponds to your opinion. I will have to reconsider, maybe to try to bargain  little bid ?.

The story ended. The bargaining took a little longer than I expected but today I have it at USD 1 000,-. I beleive it is a fair price . Definately it is a last piece to my small collection of Mongolian ODM. Prices are horrible now.
