    1. 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 …

      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

      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 )

       Igor,

       

      That is a great work

       

      I am amazed how you can get all those Documents

      It is obvious that your passion is the early Prince Alexander period and you focused your efforts on this period

       

      BTW You managed to restore and clean this Star very well

       

      Cheers
