Linasl Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hello All. I have been proposed to purchase an insignia that the seller states is an original "1819-1838 Battle of Poltava (Ukraine)" Badge. This is out of my area of expertise, so I am looking for some assistance. Also, his proposed price seems very high to me - 1200 euro. I have attached a photo to this posting, and have four photos on Photobucket, both with and without flash, here: http://s752.photobuc...AL%20or%20FAKE/ I would appreciate any assistance possible - mostly if it appears to be ORIGINAL, and what the purchase price range should be. Unfortunately I cannot provide more photos. Thank you in advance. Linas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
