JapanX Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 So yes, there are "a couple" of them around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybo Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks Nick. I assume that the faking is largely done in Russia, correct? Are the fakes cast copies or are the original dies still out there? It is a fascinating though depressing black market in action out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Don`t know where the original dies are. As for the fakes - they made all kinda stuff here. Casting, stamped - you name it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybo Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi Nick, Are they making fakes of the original Saint George's Cross of 1807? If so, can one buy them as a copy and not get ripped off? I realize that this is a stupid question......Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the cost of buying an original is beyond my means, I was interested to see if good quality copies of the 1807 Saint George's Cross were being made. My Napoleonic collection is comprised of original pieces except for 2 medals (1813 EK 1st Class and the Novodel Preussichs-Eylau Cross as I mentioned above.
