Fake Opinions on a Nevsky T1.

[Belaruski]

Hello all,

I am selling this Order of Nevsky, and just before I advertise it I thought I'd double check that it is indeed a copy! The quality is very good and it is 3 pieces. but I presume its a nice fake.

Belaruski,

You can safely sell it as a copy.

If you want a few pointers as to why, here goes:

. wrong engraving style (this specific handwriting is actually found an various other fakes)

. medallion is of a later type of order

. ring too thin and not properly soldered

. shape of the two top teeth (as seen from reverse)

. poor fit of the pieces, etc
