    1. Does anyone know what the 'Yellow and White' metals consisted of in the later Imperial Russian St. George's crosses and medals and whether it was consistent?

       

      I have found some dictionary definitions for both but not sure whether they would be correct for these awards.

       

      Yellow metal:

      A form of brass containing about 60 parts copper and 40 parts zinc, with a little lead.

       

      White metal:

      A white or silvery alloy, especially a tin-based alloy used for the surfaces of bearings.

      A white metal alloy may include antimony, tin, lead, cadmium, bismuth and zinc.
