First of all, there is such thing as web page translator. Please feel free to use it http://itools.com/tool/google-translate-web-page-translator Second, my last link has pictures. What linguistic skills one should have to look at pictures dear Chris? Another link is in english (see for yourself ) and only the first one is in russian. What a terrible thing to say Chris! But then again you have a first-hand knowledge of this "quantity versus Quality" posting. Actually many years of such posting ;) -

Indeed! But not only they know - they also have their evidence in hand dear Chris That's why I gave this link in my fisrt post http://cossac-awards.narod.ru/Znaki_bez_woisk_starye_files/Georg_OMO/Georgy_OM0_3.html If G-N is too busy to compare his "rarity" with this piece - it's his problem. If he doesn't see that his piece differs from the piece in the link only by added incisions and fake patina, then I can' t help him. Obviously RR didn't even bother to compare these two pieces either. Same story with you dear Chris Indeed Sus docet Minervam! -

This thread is getting better and better! At last! An expert opinion! From the series A: WTF is that? B: It is some kinda ruski medal. A: Is it for real? B: Who knows... There like zillion of them around... Some of them are fakes. Some are real. A: Ok. Thanks for info! C: Great discussion guys! You are obviously mistake me with yourself. Unlike you I've always backed up my opinions with evidence P.S. If G-N thinks that the "strike is not the same" (I wonder if he looked at these pictures http://cossac-awards.narod.ru/Znaki_bez_woisk_starye_files/Georg_OMO/Georgy_OM0_3.html at all ... "especially the George and dragon, are not the same at all... " Seriously?!) then so be it. At least now he knows the name of this decoration ... P.P.S. BTW, great opening insider! "I don't know ANYTHING about your Cross, for instance". Then how did you form your opinion?! Guess the same way you did it in this thread (by replacing facts and knowledge with pure unblended phantasy) http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/59213-help-id-this-badge/ or this one http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/59604-nva-medal-unidentified/ Impressive! Keep it up! :beer: -
"Who has kites" "How many" "In what condition" All these super interesting questions will be discussed in some other thread (hopefully on some other forum). P.S. Meanwhile the red enamel in the rays and blue on the shields look questionable. We really need better quality pictures of obverse under good light.

Let's hope that real experts (a.k.a "old timers"/"old comrades" /"insiders") will come and shed some more light on this piece ... I'll pray for this -

Damn! I really should stop answering to such "requests" ... Can you believe it? This dude asked "what this is, if its real" I answered. All I've got is "you may be right, of course" Not bad! Especially from the guy who an hour earlier didn't know "what this is" ... Yep. So where we were? Zillions!!! How lucky you are! -
Not only "in the center" I am afraid And what about these halberds?!

This piece is trying to impersonate famous and super rare ataman Semyonov cross. For more info see http://kolchakiya.narod.ru/faleristika/georg_decoration_Semenov.htm About Semyonov see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigory_Semyonov This one is replica of course... Here you will find another one (with different number) here http://cossac-awards.narod.ru/Znaki_bez_woisk_starye_files/Georg_OMO/Georgy_OM0_3.html Cheers, Nick -
Shocking! Too many simple-minded collectors with deep pockets ... O cives, cives, quaerenda pecunia primum set ... :lol:

Nope. It was sold three months ago on YJ. Couple of days ago one kind soul sent me better photos of this rarity ;)
