Anyone know it this is a genuine bust and if it does have aný value. The asking price is 500$ in my opinion way to much.

500 is a way to much I think too.
I was offered 2 of them for 150 what makes 75 but I didn't took them as it's hard to resell them for a higher price.

It is on sale in Russia for 475 $! http://stavropol.molotok.ru/item1364...st_bronza.html It Can a bust not bronze and is covered by gold?

thank you uno the bust in your thread seems to have much better details to the text compared to the one I have posted. Does this mean that mine is a reproduction ?
What does the text mean ?

[Uno]

The text means : Art fund of the USSR. The text on your picture is pleasant to me more. It is very difficult to define authenticity of these things, the good expert is necessary to you.
