[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 131542, member: 147"]I went to a museum Fabergé show a couple of years ago and OH MY! [URL]http://www.pem.org/press/press_release/240-coveted_faberge_treasures_revealed_at_pem[/URL] As I understand it yes, the original eggs, which are quite complex, are known. I think a few went missing after the revolution. The real ones are enamel, gold and encrusted with gems, each opens and contains "little gifts". They have mechanisms to lift the gifts up when the egg is opened. I would seriously doubt Good Will has a real one, and if they did, it wouldn't be going for $500. At the museum they had in the shop for sale eggs of all sizes. I bet that is what Good Will has :)[/QUOTE]
