Russian Imperial Adrian helmet emblem?

[Theodor]

No, not buying it, just curious. The paint is so fresh and clear, the back has such a nice fresh rust.. is it original or fake?

They are making fakes of rare and even not rare adrian insignia in France, so I highly suspect this to be fake, especialy since the seller is french...

Not only France, I've read for high-end Adrian badge fakes coming out of Taiwan /manufactured there, but probably cna appear from a seller anywhere around the world/. Too bad there is no safe territory in the hobby, maybe only the Swiss and the Bulgarian helmets

Trying to fix up that Adrian helmet of your's Teodor?

The sad thing about all these fake Russian badges is that you'll never be able to trust any in the future.

No, just training my eye It is an art, to spot a fake through a small, very small and blurry, very blurry picture
