    ODESSA ARTILLERY SCHOOL GRADUATION BADGE

    Hello Gents

    Recently I got in one french group of militaria an interesting double eagle badge with faded st George on its chest with crossed cannons under its talons, and since I'm no Imperial Russian badge expert I begun investigating. Since I don't have related books I started browsing the net, but found nothing... then I switched to Russian alphabet and found out that I have an Odessa artillery graduation badge in silver, 32,51g, 51x46mm, unmarked( except of the faintly hand engraved number 141 or 14M?), with crown. It seems that after the end of the empire the badges were issued without a crown since the school continued to work!

    I want to ask you gentleman does anyone knows how many of those badges were issued with and without the crown? There were also other variant of the badge, bronze with silver gilt, the same dimension, but 10g. heavier... why two variations, or are there any more variations? I know these are hard questions, but I know there are some passionate superbeings who can answer those. :)

    Enjoy the pics!!
