Markus Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 The painted portrait of Mozaffar-ud-Din - as a Crown-Prince (not the Shah). Shahs never wore these effigy portraits with themselves or their passed fathers:) One of the rare laws they had against vanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Nice set of awards this guy had! No wonder that Effigy badge is "under the huge white cross od St. George"! This is 2nd class! He got it on December 6, 1853 for "за блистательный подвиг мужества и отличную воинскую распорядительность, оказанные в сражении 19-го Ноября сего 1853 года, на правом берегу Арпачая, где вы, с храбрыми войсками НАШИМИ, находившимися под начальством вашим, разбив втрое сильнейший против них 36-тысячный корпус Турецкой армии, бывший под предводительством Сераскира Абди-Паши, взяли при этом с боя 24 орудия, несколько знамен и весь лагерь" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
