Any thoughts

Esteban_cool · 02-28-2003, 02:37 PM

I think is a fake.Why?
´cause even I could make an order less sloppily.

redstar_co · 02-28-2003, 04:53 PM

Really.!!??
Oh, I am glad I didnt buy it.

well it is only a picture...in hands, a bogdan must look beautifull. The engraving is sharp, fine. On this pics, the metal looks very dark. What hurts me is the hetman's eyes...on good pieces it is sharp, round eyes between eyelids, the characters seems ready to attack...such thinness is still difficult for common fakers. I've seen fakes on the net worst...face proportions not respected, with distorsions on the cheeks...ugly!

redstar_co · 02-28-2003, 06:57 PM

Yes. You are all right. and besides all this it looks like a single piece.

I have the back side at work. Why?

I have seen this order and compared with other true ones and there are some points to identify it as a fake:
1.-The...how do you call these

...sharp edges around the order should be more larger I mean, not so short.
2.-Bogdan Khmelnitsky should look angry, not smiling there serenely.
3. The leaves(or whatever it is)details on the lower part of the circle with the leaves should be less "fat"

At least that is what I have concluded with the observation.

Greetings,
Esteban

Here is a close up of mine.

Notice the size of the moustache vis a vis.
