In times of Imperial wars veterans were awarded with orders and medals made of precious metals and precious stones. Rulers thus “pay” to the soldiers of their ability. If necessary, this award saved the family from poverty, because the owner could sell his award. But in peacetime, it needs distinctions and awards. After the October revolution, the order began to present not so much for heroic deeds during the war, many achievements for the construction of a powerful state.

At the top of the star project author, artist Zaitsev V. P., placed the red flag (enamel too). On the banner in two lines, reads the inscription “revolution”.

The Value and cost – the same concepts?

Awarded For each order has a different value. After recognition of their country your efforts – a very important moment in the life of any person. But there are situations when the order of the October revolution, the price of which is hard work, can save some of the family members from starvation or disease. Then there is a need to sell the award.

But not so simple. Since there is no official places to take the order and sell it, owners have to search for possible buyers on their own. Most often we are talking about ‘black market" (and virtual too), where collectors and investigators. On such sites you can sell everything. And the order of the October revolution, the price on the black market which is around 500-600 dollars, not the exception.

Specialists and experts in this field to remind owners of awards that, in the case of the sale need to leave the heat and excitement, and guided only by common sense. Beware to respond to "very profitable" offer to buy your order of the October revolution. The cost of the orders and medals formed based on the ratio of supply and demand, but because of all kinds of non-standard offers may be fraudulent.

In General, before parting with the award of the grandmother or the grandfather (and perhaps parents), take a moment to think about how a great man was your ancestor. Perhaps we should pass the award on to future generations, to carry the memory of the heroes through time.
