Just another fake certificated by notorious "expert" Sergei Levin /Сергей Левин/ https://asiamedals.info/threads/fak...exander-nevsky-order.22734/page-2#post-360184 , https://asiamedals.info/threads/fake-orders-of-st-andrew.23473/#post-360183 , https://asiamedals.info/threads/fake-st-anna-orders-for-non-christians.25580/#post-359205 , etc.

 

Another generously (around 100 bucks and no personal presence of you and your treasure is required) certificated fake by Levin. It was made by the same workshop that made previous 1st class cross. This one "was awarded" to non other than Prussian and German military leader and military theorist Count Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke the Elder (1800-1891) and "made by" non other than Nichols&Plinke workshop. Yes, these "modern experts" ... they have no brains or conscience.
