My Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class type 1 Var. 3 (Researched)

Hello everyone! I am going to post some items from my collection, for everyone to see and comment on. This OPWII was given to a Reconnaissance pilot, who flew (I believe) around 30 flights/missions in 1 day. He spotted a warehouse full of enemy tanks and equipment, and a few factories, and other things like that. On one of the missions, he was writing down the coordinates of a factory (I believe it said) for HQ, so he had to fly at very low altitudes while being shot at with enemy AA/Flak guns. He was also awarded the red star and the red banner.

I will post more of my militaria soon.
What do you guys think about it? I got it for $250. (I know you guys aren’t supposed to give appraisals, but what do you think it can be worth? I know that some have sold for more than $1k)
