lambert Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Hello All I have doubts about this medal. I know that what the experts think . is Original or Fake? Best Regards Lambert Edited August 11, 2020 by lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Not totally sure but if it is wrong it is a lot better than the usual fakes. there was definite genuine piece in ANS 2 Morton and Eden Autumn 2006. catalogue is available on line www.mortonandeden.com. So you could compare with the illustration. I know I gave the diameter but I can't remember whether I gave the weight. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 whoops just noticed the elephant in the room the obverse is AII should be AI for Alexander I so not original I am afraid after failing to notice that I need a golden labrador and a white stick.

Very weirdly and very fakely executed "I", I must add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to comment about that also. How can a faker be so careful and precise but make this mistake. I know I don't have the only copy of Werlich.
