    Thanks for posting these Nick.

    I like how Russia is re-introducing the old Tsarist Orders.

    It would be even better if they resurrected old firms like Keibel and Eduard to make them :)

    It'd just be nice if the quality was there again, and gold for the gold orders :D :D come on gold! lol :D

    I'd even be ok with the 14k or dare I say "lower" grades of gold :D

    Gold isn't the main problem. Silver gilt is fine as long as there is good enamel work.

    Really a shame how the modern ones look. They're the ugly cousins of the Tsarist ones.

    Though I like the numbering on the the neck badge - that's a nice touch (but the engraving is badly executed)

    The safety pin looks just ridiculous. It looks like it's going to break off after a little wear.

    Hi,

    I agree, horrible quality. It looks a lot like the Gode (sp?) copies of Imperial German Orders made for the general public. It must be a lost art creating the quality orders of pre 1918.

    Regards,

    Sam

    Unfortunately, I must agree with Sam... The overall quality is darn near as low as Göde items...
