As much as I love Russia, Russian items, etc...  I have seen (more often than not) so many of the items touted from Russia are troublesome.  The "free shipping"????  Like the others said....better to steer clear.

I am now stepping on my soap box...I am so tired of people using the word "rare" on their items for sale.  It just takes the cake when you have 3 to 4 identicals for sale at the same time of an item and all say they are rare!   :O
Stepping off....

In all my travels to Russia I would see quite unique items attempting to replicate the "look" of the faberge eggs...and this is a perfect example of that.  I have seen quite a few of good quality that are made wonderfully made but you would need a hands on to appreciate that.

I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

It was the same for me when I travelled to the Ukraine in 2005...there, were .Faberge Egg trinket boxes being touted at markets..as the genuine article...and they were so poorly made that even a blind man could tell that they were fake ...and, there was many other things,like the wooden dolls within dolls,.....and the odd thing was, they would,nt accept the local currency..everythin g was priced in US dollars....
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

A little Russian Humor.... Why don't people enjoy being around Mamatryoshkas very long?  Because they are full of themselves!  :/

"Rare" Ticks me off too KC !!  As a rule, I won`t even look at those !!  Don`t like any of the other exclamatory words used in the Title !!

I agree Mart!  Feel like it is a "car salesman mentality" screaming at you! (Not to put down all car salesmen...I happen to know some wonderful ones!!!)   :)
