Hi, the silver shoulder boards belong to the Fliegel Adjutant of the Emperor's Suite, Colonel of Chevalier Guard regiment. The gold - to the Fliegel Adjutant of the Emperor's Suite, Captain of the 1st Rank 

Hi! I thought the shoulder boards of Chevalier guard was more light grey.

By the way, what is the market situation there for shoulder boards?

Hello,

can anyone say what unit had this kind of shoulder board?

What Russian unit had these kind of epaulettes?

Hi,

here is two tunics. Are those Russian imperial army tunics? Didnt find any good online source to make some research. Any opinions?

Anyone possibly selling Finnish Cross of Liberty breast star?

Anyone selling Russian imperial shoulder boards?

Hi!

I saw these kind of shoulder boards. Can anyone say which unit's shoulder board it is? 

Very nice pair of epaulettes! Do you have those more in your collection? I have been interested especially of Finnish units.

Thank you for the reply! Interesting! Is this emblem rare or common?

Hi,

is this some kind of cap emblem of Russian imperial army? Which units used it?

The center of it is embroided.

Appreciate a lot all kinds of information!

Hi,

So sorry to hear about Chip's death. I was wondering why he isnt replying to my e-mails. We had earlier few deals about Russian imperial shoulder boards. And we were continuing that.

Hopefully his collections will be taken care well!

Anyone possibly selling Russian imperial shoulder boards?

Thank you!

Hellou,

hopefully you can make better pics. It looks bit strange. The Red cross side looks so polished and the year side dirty. And the part under number 91 looks flat. It should not be like that. (Hopefully understand what I mean) And under that part should be silver stamps. For example Sporring made those medals.

Hi,

I found this lot in one auction. Can some one tell more about the Finnish regiments?  How those were formated and were those part of larger units? And where they were located?

Seems that bar is bit mysterious. I dont have so much experience of Swedish miniatyr bars. But is those orders are in the correct order? I mean Vasa comes before the Swedish Patriotic Society medal, Finland, Germany etc. In general is it common to have that kind semi-official medal in these kind of bars?

That last medal is Skånska Länsmannens Centralförening. So it must be unofficial medal. 

Cross of Liberty Crosses with red cross are normally without swords. One exeption is one Cross of Liberty 2nd Class with red cross and swords. That 2nd class was awarded to person who was in charge of the office of war prisoners. 

The bar doesnt look like its fixed......but of course everything can be possible. I bought it from auction.

Most interesting for me is that Finnish Cross of Liberty 3rd class with red cross 1939 miniatyr. With same deal came also the real size order. That order was awarded only 48 times and mainly to doctors or persons who had something to do with hospitals and medicine during the Winter war. 

Hi,

is it easy to find recipient for such a miniatyr bar?

Hello!

Is this pair of shoulder boards genuine or not. It looks odd. For example button is lower than those which I have. And was in imperial Russian shoulder boards used metallic stars of ranks?

Would be grateful for comments!

The bottom right Admirals shoulder board is a fake.  It is a Soviet era  Generals/Admirals board which had the star removed and a modern day embroidery executed of an Imperial  Admirals eagle, 100% fake.  Just compare the width and quality of the shoulder board field’s embroidery and constitution to the original overcoat Major Generals board which is to the left of it, night and day difference.

Thank you for your comment. What else is good to keep in mind when looking russian shoulder boards if it's fake or not?
