TacHel Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 OK... Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Slivin Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 OK... Why?For the several reasons.1. Not original enamel.2. Not accurate drawing.3. Not correctly written numberEtc.I can be mistaken certainly but if you show largely I will tell precisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Seems like a heck of a lot of work in making an intricate and enameled copy for an award that is easily accessible for a mere $150 to $200...But heh, I'll take better and closer scans and post them. After all, the aim here is to learn and share that knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, the aim here is to learn and share that knowledge.Now the prices have fallen because of crisis.But even now such award in Russia cannot be bought more cheaply 1000 USD.There is such firm selling copies:http://www.capral-new.ru/catalog.php?tovar_id=217Earlier they sold also copies of awards of the Russian Federation, but now it is problematic.

Nice quality stuff too. Nice enough to fool some unwary buyers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Slivin Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Cпасибо... Я не сержусь... Возможно немного, против продавца...At Russian collectors such seller is called - фуфлогон.P.S. I have nothing to correct in your Russian. Probably only "против" to replace "on". :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darrell Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Appears Megan's has rivets. The second has make believe rivets :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 It's actually more than that. Like Roman mentioned, the quality of the enamels alone is quite different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
