paul wood Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Now let`s turn our attention to Osipov pieces. 4th class without swords. Marked Nick, If it is unmarked how do you know it's Eduard? On stylistic grounds? Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Veteran piece could be made by Osipov (at least loop and reverse tablet are closer to Osipov style) ... Although with these photos I can`t speak with confidence. Regards, Nick Edited August 9, 2012 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Nick Nick thanks for that, I have always assumed (mistakenly as it appears) all pre-revolutionary and provisional government pieces were marked, at least with the K if not the maker's mark.

Paul Yes, this is indeed very strange! Official suppliers should at least mark their products with K (where K is the first letter in russian word Chapter) Regards, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thank you all for this wonderful post. My cross has been carefully scrutinised and no sign of a mark of any kind can be seen on any of the arms. It certainly looks very much like the 4th class badge last shown by JapanX; Congratulationss for the fine series of crosses shown ! I am very grateful.

Veteran I agree this has been a most useful and enlightening post for me and I am now able to note the stylistic differences between the two official suppliers. Question for Nick, apart from Eduard and Osipov are the any other known Russian makers of bronze insigina? All the best, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, Paul As far as know - only two official makers "in bronze" - Eduard and Osipov. As for private workshops ... Never saw these ...
