Image 1- a U.S. fraternity pin
Image 2- (uppermost) Medal for 250th Anniversary of Leningrad. (below and to the right) Defense of Leningrad, V-1. (below and to the left) Medal for Labour Valour (can't tell the variation from the photo). I have no idea about the green ribboned medal. Value... the Defense of Leningrad goes for around $50; the other 2 can be had for a few bucks each. Image 3- the Nevsky, if genuine, could go for $2,000 up.

Re: Estate Find Need Help
I'm sorry for the bad news, but from the reverse picture of the Nevsky alone I don't think we'll need to see its front.

Re: Estate Find Need Help
I'd be interested in that embroidered cap badge up in left corner...

Re: Estate Find Need Help
OK, ok, yes, you can pay less than $50 for a Leningrad- got mine for $12 several years ago- but, there is a finite number of originals and, as these get gobbled up, prices will increase to meet demand. Also, the end of the cease fire in Ukraine certainly won't help.

Re: Estate Find Need Help
The Nevsky is fake.
Could you post better pictures of the Guards Badge (to the right of the Nevsky, with the red banner and star in the middle)? |

Re: Estate Find Need Help
The story sounds like a well echoed faerie-tale, usually thrown out to suck folks in. Lack of documentation/provenance plus fake items plus tourist pieces/completely unrelated items usually ends up with someone being taken for a ride. I don't know about the completely off forum topic wings but everything else together (including the case) would certainly not see myself personally being happy to part with as much as $50 for everything.
Buy the items for the real attributes they actually have and not any story that may be at worst nothing but complete deception.
