Hundtorget Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) This small badge has been impossible for med to read - but i shall try to meet some russian here to get it translated.I understand that it is impossible for you to read it but does someone recognize the "hat" over the eagle?Has this badge something with the church to do and not with the army?

Hundtorget Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 Thankyou! Now i know what it is and as it is not military i dont mind if you take this thread away.This badge i think is later than Alexander II, maybe the institute was started during his regim?
Hundtorget Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 This medals are for sale in sweden by someone from Latvija. I cant se anything wrong with the medals but i have no knowledge about forgeries. But what could be a reason for someone in Latvija to sell russian medals in sweden? And together with such a photography?I am not interested to buy these medals but is wery interested to hear your opinions. I dont make a new thread about this - i dont think it is worth it.
Hundtorget Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 These two medals on the photo, China 1900-01 and Kaucasus 1837, were sold for a little below 150:- $. I didnt dare to make a bid because it was strange to me to sell them from Latvija to Sweden. Are they false? If you want i can send photo of other side.
