How things Lars? Nice looking chain! But is this combination possible? Russian badges "За беспорочную службу" with XV were discontinued in 1859. And then we have Preußischen Landesverein vom Roten Kreuz (introduced in 1898) and 1915 Saxon Cross on the very same chain. We are talking about one damn long-lived person here But maybe this is not russian, but prussian long-service badge (Prince Oskar with his badge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Oskar_of_Prussia ). Or replacement for such badge? Best, Nick

This fellow of yours honestly manufactures and sells fakes. Fakes and not copies, because copies should have "replica"/"copy" inscription on reverse. Actually for everyone who has eyes Bottom line - very "good" russian makes this crap and sells it as "copies" and very "bad" elfard94 is reselling this crap as original pieces.

Breast star and neck badge are perfect match! + Very reasonable (to put it very mildly) staring bid $5000 Good luck guys!

Nice!

Nice patina too

No case around, but breast star and badge are practically in mint condition!

Yes, indeed it is 1944 г (with 9 written as 8) Damn this running hand

Yes, it could be something else ...

Exellent Austrian Mark!

Baranov Ivan + Number of field post station 686091-A ? Strange number ... After February 6, 1943 field stations got 5-digit codes. Before February 6, 1943 - 4-digit codes were in use.

You said it Rich! P.S. And again we hear this rediculous execuses "Sold only as a copy", "He sells them only as a copy" ... And even more rediculous "specifications" like diameter, thickness and weight. Like somebody really need these to detect such low-class fakes.

Nice bubbles

We don`t need diameter fro this piece of ****

"Astute viewer"?! That`s a good one! We discussed this "saint maker" and his creatures here http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/52001-fakes-quality-slowly-and-not-expertly-is-on-the-raise/page-19
