Here are the pics, the links will be dead soon as the auctions will terminate. Definitely a difference in quality...

I've had this puppy for quite a while but never got around to asking for an expert opinion on it... It's quite light, almost feels like tin. I've often wondered if it was genuine. Any thoughts?

Umalatovas are but a tiny percentage of the unofficial medals out there.

Woa... Now that I see it in relation to a belt buckle and buttons, it's about 1/2 the size I expected it to be... It's actually small enough to be a mere lapel pin.

Nicholas II cipher... But apart from that... A bit out of my comfort zone. A souvenir from the coronation? A military insignia?
What are the dimensions? Small enough for a lapel pin? Big enough for a cap badge?

Could it possibly be this as Megan suggested?

I saw it on the uniform of 2 serving Russian admirals... It's driving me nuts that I can't find those photos again.

Yes indeed... Anything to declare?

Fake minis? No such thing as a fake mini... Cheaper mini... But fake? That's a new one.
Minis are private purchase items for wear on mess kits or civilian clothing. The individual bestowee/purchaser can buy any quality/price mini(s) he/she desires.
Is this different in Russia? I'm not being argumentative, I'm asking honestly.
