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.

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

Sorry

Hello Vatjan;

Do you know what that badge is under the medal bar? Was there a caption? I have that badge and I've been wondering for years what it was?

Thank you.

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

George

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

Haha,

I don't own one of them, otherwise I would have sold it very very very quick...

I don't consider it one of the beautifull medals...

See my belgian medals..

But I wonder what it's criteria are...

For the russian civil war... but then what did (wo)man have to do for it??

Kind regards

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..
