Andreas,
Strange mintmark and unconventional handwriting. Can you get better pictures of that piece, including enlargements?

Re: Distintivi per Specialista nell MVD
Guys,
According to the information on the page shown by Sergio, it should be the other type of badge, without the wings.

Re: Onorevole pilota collaudatore
I have never observed a single instance of the round raised MMD mintmark on any genuine air title (Military Pilot, Military Navigator, Civilian Pilot, Civilian Navigator, Military Test Pilot, Military test Navigator).

Re: Onorevole pilota collaudatore
Guys,
As far as I know, the round MMD mintmark has never been stamped, it was always struck in relief.
So IMO, that is one terminal argument against this badge.

Alvarez,
I don't like it, but suspensions are not my forte.
Wait for Filo to chime in, he knows his suspensions

Ruiz,
It may also be due to the date of award (the booklet looks quite recent). If it is post-WW2, it will not be available on Pomyat Naroda.

Re: Medaglie per la Difesa
The back of the Stalingrad medal in your original post is definitely NOT the same as what you are showing just above: it had a fully stamped ring, whereas your Stalingrad medal has a soldered ring. The lighting isn't to blame here.

All your medals are original. But in the future, make sure to post both the front AND back of each medal/order.

IMO, $100 would be generous, given the wear of the piece.

Ruiz,
It is as Seb said, as fairly scarce commemorative goblet of the 10th anniversary of the Soviet Union. Originally, it had a lid, bit that piece is missing in 99.9% of the cases.

Hi Drugo,
I think you got the wrong guy. The one in the booklet got his first award (ORS) somewhere around April~May 1945, and he was a Captain, whereas the Nagradnoy List refers to a Colonel with a whole s**tload of awards.

Drugo,
The corrections are so obvious and poorly made that I am inclined to think that it is all genuine.
As to the major suppliers of fake and/or doctored booklets, I'd place them clearly to the West of Russia, namely in Ukraine and the Baltic states.
