    1. This is 3rd class cross

      In 1880 there were three degrees of the cross - two gold and one degree of the silver cross. 
      In 1885, the Prince added a fourth-degree cross and all veterans who received a cross in 1880 added a bow to the ribbon of the cross. 

      Russian medal in silver was presented to all veterans who fought on Shipka.
