I'm not bothering with trying to get a refund.
The cross didn't cost much more than the postage !!
Just one for me to put down to experience.

Hello Doug.
Feel free to use my pix.
I like your cross .................. provenance is everything with these things.
The '57 item is just a modern fantasy piece.
All the best,
Robin.

Hello Doug.
Nice work.
I have one of the old 1960s TLO crosses ...................... he managed to give them better detail than the (alleged) originals !! Cost me about £30.
Personally, I first came across any mention of the Don Cossack Cross in this book ................ I think I was about 12 years old at the time !! Happy days.

Thank God !!
We Brits still issue military badges with skulls !!
My latest pick-ups are the 4 variations of officer/OR cap & beret skulls for the new 'Royal Lancers' regiment, formed in 2015.
Along with the regiment's tactical recognition flash.
A unit with a proud tradition dating back to the old 17th Lancers.
The unofficial patch in the last photo explains the regimental amalgamations over the years.
So ...................... the military skull insignia is still alive and well in this part of the world !!

Great patina on that badge.
It takes 100 years to look like that !!
Never, never polish it
Just wash it with soapy water.
