    1. Can I get your advice on a Russian Life Saving medal?  I am the owner of Lot 5158 Hermann Historica Auction #72, the estate of the Piano Composer and virtuoso Xaver Scharwenka, of which this medal is a part.  A pic is online but I can send another to you if needed.  It came on blue ribbon but not sure if correct.  I've searched all my meager references but was unsuccessful in locating anything on this item.  Do you know it and its background?  Thanks a lot.   Bob Schmidt

        Hi Bob,

        about the badge

        http://maletin.euro.ru/level2/carizm/badges/obv_spas_3.htm

        So ribbon is the wrong one, because there was no ribbon at all. 

        Only blue rosette.

        Example of such rosette

        The awards on the site you provide does not match the one I mention---perhaps because mine was to a civilian?

        Cross inscriptions are the same, dear Bob.  

        As for the differences - most likely yours was privately ordered.
