the stars of Russian orders made by Osipov are very beautiful and very expensive. therefore, some Russian dealers take the Bulgarian order, exchange the Bulgarian medallion for the medallion of the Russian order and sell it as a Russian order made by Ivan Osipov. after such "improvement" some details remain … I really do not like the medallion of this Order of St. Alexander Nevsky !!!!!!! # # and also the medallion of this order of St. Andrew the First-Called looks fake on the original corpus of the star made by Ivan Osipov

Great picture of great star ? may be you have image of reverse ? Thank You very much for pictures of very rare orders !!! order from 3rd picture with medalion like first variant of first type , but corpus of star not of Osipov’s production . This star can to be from another Russian producers - N&P ( Nicols and Plinke ) or K.S. ( K. Selenius ) # It’s can to be from Godet production But I think it’s from Darmstadt in Hesse - Wondra or Shnitzpahn firm
