Chuck In Oregon Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 This is my only Order of St. George. It is gold and marked only on the ring. Even with a 10x glass I can't read the mark. This award comes from the Turkish War. I acquired a few other related items from this officer's family and I'll post them one of these days.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck In Oregon Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 Great order.. I cant wait till I find one I can afford! George* * * * *If my darlin' wife had been within, say, 5,000 miles, I probably wouldn't have bought this one. Well, couldn't have with two broken arms and bleeding from the ears, I suppose. But she wasn't and I can't be trusted with money around good collectibles, so here it is. I don't regret it, mind you, but it was costly in more ways than one. She really doesn't see the humor when I say "It's only money."Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Gregory Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Chuck,That is a very attractive award. Can you recommend any sites that explain Imperial Russian awards in simple terms or provide a good primer for further enquiries?If I had the time, contacts and financial resources, this is another aspect of collecting militaria that I would like to pursue. Please consider a general lack of comments on my part as dumbstruck awe. Please show more, as I am sure there are many other collectors who simply know too little about them.Thanks in advance,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
