Fake Orders of Aleksandr Nevsky

[Shocktrooper]

If it is genuine, it comes in a great condition !!!

[USSR]

Can anybody give me a second opinion on the Nevsky in post #246 before I buy it? Any help is much appreciated! ;)

im not sure.

Enamel is definitely not original that's for sure. the chain mail looks a little uneven too, maybe that's just me.

interestingly enough, if you look at the word Monetnyi, you will see the word Dvor is stamped underneath the first few letters.

Sorry to be no help USSR, if its real, i hope the price reflects the condition.

Hopefully someone will be able to help you :)

I think you are probably right. I've looked at many orders of Nevsky and all have the lower stamp placed beneath the middle of the upper stamp. Unless somebody else says we are mistaken, I will pass on this one ;-)

i meant to say Dvor is stamped behind s well as underneath monetnyi, like its been stamped incorrectly. Sorry,bad choice of words on ny part!

I was referring only to the oxidation of the medallion, which to me seemed normal.

Regarding the order, so as not to create confusion, have revealed to me that, unfortunately, this is a fake. :thumbsdown

Thank you Marsino!
May I ask what make you conclude it's fake?

Dear all,
here are another 3 shots of the same piece I posted before- just better resolution.
Though I can't point out any single detail, but something still bothers me...maybe the "oxidation" looks too of a "bronze" tone? Or I miss something else here? :confused: Pleeeease help! (I have only few days left to return...)

Thank you CtahhR (and Marsino) !

Guys, does anybody beside me like this one? If yes, how much is worth to spend on it?
Would love to hear your expert's opinion...

Guys,
I'd like to get your opinion on this Nevsky...? And also- how much would be OK to pay for it? Thank you.
