Doubled checked but I dont have all my books out yet. But he does look like Alexander III Father of Nickolas II. Early portraits hard to locate. George

He looks alot like the Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich Romanov.. All period portraits command top dollar now. I'll have to recheck the ID. But looks like him.. George

Hi Michal, Both of your eagles have come from Pilots boards. Its hard to tell if these are originals. but they should have a blackened finish. Nice eagles. George

I have collected russian badges for a few years now, and have never run accross an original issue case for these. I'm not talking about Orders. Just the school and regiment type badges and such. If anyone does have a case in there collection please post some pics. Thanks George

Beautiful cap! I cant seem to find nice originals here in the US. Lots of museum copies around, but the prices are out of line. Can you tell us what branch of service its from? Thanks George

and the letter to authenticate it all..

Great story..What do you guys think posted on Craigslist 18K German WWII Eastern Winter Campaign medal - $1800 (saratoga) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: sale-277231341@craigslist.org Date: 2007-02-11, 6:07PM PST The following is taken from the letter of authentication that I received from the seller. he is the son of a war criminal and livs in South and central America. "This letter is to authenticate the origins of the 1941/1942 Campaign Medal awarded to participants in the Winter Moscow campaign of 1941/42. This particular medal is crafted in 18K gold and was awarded to only a select few of the recipients. My father, ,,SS? ObersturmbannFuhrer Joachim Stuletki, received this medal for his leadership and participation as a line officer assigned to the Sonderkommando 4a, of Einsatzgruppe C, Russia 1941-42. For his actions with Einsatzgruppe C, my father was placed on Simon Wiesenthal?s list of SS officers wanted for war crimes. My father and I escaped to Bolivia in 1946 and I have lived in Guatemala and the Canary Islands since 1957. As far as I know, my father?s name remains on Wiesenthal?s list." it's ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests PostingID: 277231341 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright ? 2007 craigslist, inc. terms of use privacy policy feedback forum

I know Of John K. He sells lots of questionable items.. George

Hi Andy I would leave it as is and try as stated to perserve what you have. there is a layer of laquer over the brass and the stencil is on top of that coating. so if you were to try and clean the patina of the brass you would destroy both. George

The solid RED ribbon for Zeal would be correct. George

Hi David, Sorry i cant help with the other questions.. But here is a guy on ebay that sells ribbon replacements, http://cgi.ebay.com/30-Russian-imperial-or...1QQcmdZViewItem I have not purchased any thing from him, so I cant vouch on quality of the ribbons. George

Hi David, Nothing really stands out as incorrect. I dont have any reference on the award #'s. Looks OK to me.. George Sorry about the delay.. I've been away from the forum for a while.
