<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 4571943, member: 33"]I'm not sure, still... because the title of this thread mentions "Chinese." Can you explain what you mean by authentic? I probably won't know the answer, but am curious. I don't think it is well painted, for one thing. The globe is not round, and the scepter is not shaped like the ones that are represented in the images here: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Russia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Russia" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Russia</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So I think it probably was painted by somebody who was not officially hired by the Russian government, whether Imperial or modern. Not sure whether that is what you were asking? Currently the Russian government has a similar coat of arms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
