Imperial Russia St. George cross: original or fake?

[Leclerc]

Dear fellow collectors,

May I ask you what do you think about these crosses?

There are two 3rd class crosses (s/n 38214 and 61229) and an exile type example without s/n. Personally, I think that (at least) the exile type is a fake.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, dear Igor, for your valuable answer.

May I ask you what do you think about this medal for bravery?

Fake

Thank you very much for your valuable help, Igor.

Here would be an other one, allegedly awarded to a French soldier during WWI. May I ask you what you think about it?

Thank you very much for your answers. 168 € indeed, and I bet it will be sold for well over 200 €...

I'd say that's even the same type than the third cross from your first posting in very this thread.

These "exile" type crosses are especially flodding ebay. Here and here are more examples...
