Navel Dagger with Nickolas 2nd cypher removed. Eagle left on blade

Close up of Provisional/White russian pilots wings. These were only issued in very few numbers be the Provisional government. Still carries the Imperial crown. i have seen one other without the crown. The smaller eagle is for mounting on Shoulder boards, in a black finish.

I thought I'd start this sub section since these items are not actually Imperial pre Feb. 1917. My small grouping of Items. George

Also after looking at some pof the sellers offerings I would stay away. Sorry George

Hi Claudius, The red maltese cross? Badge of the Life-Guards Cossack Regiment of His Majesty. George

Found a paragraph in "Jettons of Imperial Russia" Dated Feb. 3, 1912 Imperial Special Committee for the strenghthening of the Air Force. A donation of at lease 100 Rubles was required in order to receive this jeton. 100 rubles ($50.00) may not sound like much today, but it would resresent $500.00 in todays value. The book shows both Silver and Glod versions. Gold without explination. I would assume a larger donation.? George

Hi chuck, I'll look that up this afternoon when I get home. George

What a Great piece of history.. I also like the old Chicken seal. Thanks for sharing George

Hi Jens, I'll remeasure in the next few weeks. Wont be going over there for a couple weeks.. Thanks george

I think its called the 1 st Kuban Ice march medal. Civil war award Very rare. The South of Russia, 1918 , 1st degree. The total amount about 5000, made during the Civil War in Russia and the small amount in Emigration. George

Thanks Dan, I forgot about those crown M's. Does anyone have a picture of the type of Gun used? Thanks George

Heres a piece my parents have been using as an umbrella stand for about 30 yrs now. Stande approx.27" tall but as you can see its squashed down a bit, and the bottom is approx. 7" accross Was this for a navel ship or what? I have no idea, its been around so long we forgot about it . This weekend i was help my Mother with some house cleaning and there it was. What do you guys think? George

Granted Not the same badge but you can see the difference in the enamel quality. On the Original the enamel is flat and even with the outside boarders Nice smooth as glass finish The Fake is very uneven, wavy.. Original Fake George

Imperial Russian Aviation histories. 1890-1935 Great photo reference, I just wish I could get an English translation. Photos of original badges and uniforms. Imperial and early Soviet Cant find this one anymore. I think it was in the $65.00 range.

Another must have.. Great reference material tells the Who What When Where's and How.. of Imperial Orders. Could be out of print already.. I paid $110.00 You could get on ebay or direct from publisher.

Another Badges Reference. This one is in German English and Russian. More detailed description of each badge. Images are drawings and some photos..Not good for original compasisions. Still worth having. May be Out of print? $225.00?

Avers 3.. Line drawings of Awards and badges. Some outdated values. No soviet pieces. Russian with partial English translations.

The best so far on Jetons of Imperial russia. Tells the story on how and why jetons were so liked in Russia. Russian / English text, with copies of original documents and orders for production of jetons. Great photography of wonderful examples.. A must have if you want to collect these. $185.00

Jetons of Imperial russia. Nice small format hard cover book. Color photos of Original examples, No values. You can usually fine on ebay.. George
