    3. Alex; Thank you for looking and posting the results. I had hoped for a name, date and where it was awarded, but sometimes the information is not there. Thank you again! -Claudius

    5. Hello; Does anyone own the Patrikeev volumes that have the rolls for the St.George Cross and Medal winners? I would like the name and award details on a 4th Class Cross # 1 223 342 and a 4th Class Medal, # 129 304 that I have. Thanks, Claudius StGeoCross4C 1223342.heic StGeoMedal4C 129304.heic
    6. Hello; I have noticed that many Imperial Russian medal bars don't have pins or loops to attach them to the uniform. How did they do it orginally? I'm attaching photos of the backs of two medal bars. I realize that one of them has a soldered on safety pin for attaching to the uniform but that was obviously done some time after the medal bar was constructed. It only further illustrates my point that the medal bars HAD an attachment system, but it wasn't used in later years, and in some cases just a big safety pin was used instead.
    7. "The Queen is dead...long live the King!" (I always wanted to say that, but as a colonist and her long reign prevented it until now)
    8. Hello; Does anyone have or have in a book, a photo of Uhlan uniform from the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna Regiment (early WWI period)? There isn't one in my "Uniforms of the Imperial Russian Army" book by Boris & John Mollo. And I can't find one online. (I found a photo of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna in her regiment's Uhlan uniform, but that is not what i'm looking for.) Thanks,
    9. Hello; I picked this up today at my favorite neighborhood 2nd hand bric-a-brac store. I thought his badge and collar tab came out well in the photo, but the pogoni is a bit blurry. Unfortunately no writing on the back. badge collar
    10. It is likely that the KuK badge is no good. The patina is wrong, especially in the center of the eagle where it was reheated to apply the maker mark. I'm sorry for the widow and I hope they find the rest of his collection for her to sell off.
