    Default Grenadier Life Guard Officer's Badge?

    Hello All,

    I normally collect Polish militaria, but this Polish "inspired" imperial Russian badge came my way. It does appear to be correct construction and hallmarks, though I am not an expert when it comes to these types of badges.

    Any thoughts on authenticity? Also, if possible, any value range?

    Yes, it's an officer's badge for the Life Guard Grenadierski Regt., but I cannot determine if authentic or not.
    There are many fakes out there for Russian Imperial regimental badges, so one must be careful.
    A late close friend of mine had a large collection of over 100 badges and I know he paid over $1000 for some of them.
    There are a few reference books in English, I believe.

    This is fantasy! The sign is fake! This is either Polish or Ukrainian fake!
