Guest Darrell Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) KulmIt's four letters, but the first one should start with a "C" followed by an "r" .... Edited August 2, 2007 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekhunter Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I've never seen this one before. Interesting fantasy piece, or as Darrell would probably say, it ends with a "p". Since the guy was new, I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt, and the option to ask 'real or not'? Too late now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizarov Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Thank pluribus, gregM and all. Let me show you another cross from this collection. According to legend, they were exiled to Siberia from the rebel- "Decembrist". Some of them took part in the battle of Kulm.

Elizarov Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Some analysts believe that the cross was made in Poland. When the Russian army was returning from a raid on Napoleon. Argument- balls in the corners of beams. This feature Polish jewellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
