Imperial Russia St George Cross 3rd class

[makedon]

Hello,

I found this St George Cross, which looks like a copy to me.

It has hand-engraved numbers and two marks on the suspension ring.

It is thin, as you can see in the photos.

As I am not an expert, I would like an opinion about this cross.

Thank you!

The engraving gives it away definitely a wrong un.

Thank you Paul!

Nevertheless, I have seen originals with a later engraving. Would anybody else like to share an opinion about this cross?

is it a known example of copy?

Cross 100% Original.

Private made by jeweler.

Most interested on this cross its small mark (bottom one).

Try to describe how it’s look like (wolf head or?).

Check France and German marks for silver came from other countries (they use special mark for items like this).

Looks fine to me, just not standard issue - look at the cloak on St.George, more typical of the type used in the Civil War.
