Size 54 mm.
Weight 33.5 g.

Medallions.

Marks.

Crown.

 

 

 

Sold (last time for 14 000 euros) as "late Eduard in bronze".

 

This breast star was once sold as "Russian-made plaque with Italian-made medallion". Central medallion is a modern-made fake. Base of the star looks original /most likely originally it was Saint Anna or Saint Stanislaus order breast star/.

 

Another two examples.
Most likely from the same "Italy".

With swords.

 

Fake "Keibel" badges.

These fakes are easily identifiable by the graphics of reverse medallion and fake marks.

With swords.

 

Fake "Eduard" badges.

These were manufactured by the same "workshop" that made previous group of "Keibel" badges.

Again the easiest way to identify these creatures will be using reverse medallion graphics.

Without swords.
