I know nothing about Soviet Medals.

Would someone please give me the run down and an evaluation of each please?

Thanks!

1st is an "Order of the Badge of Honor"; Civ. award - 1960s.
2nd is an "Order of the Red Banner"; Mil. award - 1950s.
3rd is an "Order of the Red Banner of Labor"; Civ. award - very late one.
4th is an "Order of Glory 3rd Class"; Mil. award - WWII

[vonStubben]

That's it for the medals. I have a few screw back badges too but am more interested in learning about these.

Thank you. Any idea as to current value please?

Those are actually "orders", not medals.
Your Order of Glory 3rd Cl. in post 5 shows same reverse as the Order of Glory 3rd Cl. in post 4.

I agree with Albert

Order of Red Banner is most likely 1953 and the Order of Glory is late war '44/'45. It does have a replaced postwar suspension (rather common). ORB has the original suspension!

Prices on Soviet Awards are more scattered than prices on German awards (my observation). Buying? Selling? Dealer price? Collector price?

The civilian awards are under $50 each, with the Badge of Honor being the cheapest. The Glory will be under $100, taking a bit of a hit because of the post war replaced suspension. The Red Banner is your best piece, $200-$300 if you are lucky. Just my observation/ guesstimate.

Thank you. That helps a lot.


Are these made of real silver?

5th is an "Order of Glory 3rd Class"; Mil. award - way post WWII.

Those can be interesting and worth more than their WWII counter parts depending on the recipient. If belated award to a WWII vet, then probably not so spectacular. If for post WWII action, could be rather interesting...

Should be, not sure of the purity though.
