Stuart R Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hello Friends Looking for some information on this medal. Firstly, the Geok Tepe medals I have seen have the Imperial cypher on the obverse. Further information would be most welcome here. Secondly, the medal has been filed on the rim & partially on the edge of the face, although there are no signs of blow holes associated with casting. So is it genuine & what is it? Thanking you all in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 This I am afraid is at best a later fantasy, the storming Geok Tepe took place during the reign of Alexander II and the cypher on the original is that of Alexander II, unfortunately the producer of this was not too hot on his history.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Terribly executed fantasy fake and nothing more. Unfortunately there are well executed fakes ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
