Imperial Russia Bermondt-Avalov Cross w/swords

[DanEMS]

Hi, Have anybody encountered these crosses before? Do you believe this one to be original? I myself have had no experience with these crosses, but looking at the picture I think it look to "new" and strange with that odd skull.

Best Regards,

Dan

Im also wondering what this badge is, pure fantasy? Seller calls it an "Cossack Neck Cross". Any ideas?

[Robin Lumsden]

If these things originate from a certain auction shop in Hannover, they are pure junk.

That place comes up with more Freikorps awards than the Iron Division.

Thank you for the reply Mr.Lumsden. Yes they come from a auctionhouse in Hannover.

Do anybody have a photo of an original Bermondt-Avalov Cross for comparison?

And is the "Cossack Cross" a pure fantasy awards?
