Gerd Becker Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi Jens,nice example. These were given out in batches to the fronts, so its very hard to give a date to the serialnumber, as it could be anytime between 1941(well probably not, let?s say 1942) and 1945, but "normally" it should be from about Mid 1945, probably in May/June/July.Orders of Alexander Nevsky are ALLWAYS worth to research, as this was an Officers-only award and it was allways awarded to Commanders, who distinguished themselves. If you decide to research them, let me know and i give you a contact.Again, nice example, thanks for sharing all the best,Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deptfordboy Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Very nice! I have one of those on my wish list too - one of the most attractive orders out there, IMO. Cheers Gilbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 (edited) Unfortunately,the prices for the Order of Alexander Nevski reaches the sky. I remember the times when you got a Nevski T3 for 300 Marks (150 Euro?s) Edited October 9, 2005 by Alfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Unfortunately,the prices for the Order of Alexander Nevski reaches the sky. I remember the times when you got a Nevski T3 for 300 Marks (150 Euro?s)I also own a T3 Nevski which I bought about 10 months ago. I've had it authenticated and researched. This is the highest Order I will own for the obvious reason that the other Orders are way out of my league. Too bad I didn't start collecting when I was on mission in the Balkans 5 years ago. Oh well hindsight is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 How about walking us through some detailed points on how to tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuliganRS Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Rick,I can give a few indicators:The S/N engraving is not correct for the rangeThe loop at the top star is too thickThe suspension is just wrong.This is an example of a great fake!Rusty.

Guest Rick Research Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Totally fake or "retrofitted" from an early screwback to a phony suspension type?I got distracted into uniforms years ago when ALL the early suspension Orders were already dangerous and never got into them at all. The sight of DOZENS of early suspension OPWs being offering by individual dealers at shows put me RIGHT off any of these so what I know = 0.Should the strangely dark and heavy marking in the deepest (and most sheltered part) of the reverse be a clue of Unnatural Practices? Is the suspension itself from something else-- say an early OPW2 slaughtered to make this up, or totally bogus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuliganRS Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Rick,The suspension looks fake except for the screwplate.Ring was added and it's wrong size.The order itself may be a put togehter...I would need to hold in in my hands to be able to tell more.It's very difficult to explain based only on pictures. I mean you look at the order and you know something is not right, you take a few more looks and see small things...Rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Hi gents,Thanks for your input. I think I will send the piece next year to Paul if he is back.I will tell you the result.regardsAndreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) Gentlemen,Perhaps I have something which might, at least, offer a comparison for discussion. What follows are pictures of Major Matevy Savelievich Pinsky which show him wearing his Nevsky as a screwback piece circa late 1945. along with a close up of the first photo which shows the ring for the suspension on the badge still in place. These are followed by pictures of his actual award as it is today in the suspension (type 1) form. This piece, #1150. This is a type 1, variation 2; and I should mention that evidence of the prong is more prominent than seen in the photo. Also, the eyelet is more evident in the original photo than seen here. Best wishes,Wild Card Edited November 25, 2005 by Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
