Hi Dan,

I have seen clean ones for around $50.00 to 60.00 US.

with rust I would guess 20.00/ 30.00.

George

45mm would be within the sizes for a 2nd class order.

Please post a picture of your order.

George

Hi,

I didnt see the Small kokoshink in the earlier pics.

So it would seem your St. Anne is from 1908-17 period.

There should also be a small dot either to the left or the right of the neck of the head

this would identify the city of manufacture.

Right dot under chin is St Petersburg left dot Moscow.

Theres another newer publication out as well.

"Russian Silversmiths Hallmarks"

by Geoffrey Watts

I dont have this book so cant advise spending $100.00.

Another is "Imperial Russian Makers' Marks on Orders and decorations"

by Spink. This is a great Publication if you can find one.

large format paperback.

Hi,

I use the "Guide to Russian Silver Hallmarks" by Paul Paulson

This is usual available on ebay.

The 56 mark on your order is the Gold content mark 56 gold is approx 14Kt U.S.

Your order using a mix of Red an yellow gold.

The makers marks should be on the arms of the orders under the enamel.

Same on gold or silver versions of the orders.

The so called black enamel is an early order 1880's-90's

and command higher prices.

I received 12,000 U.S. for a damaged St Stan. just last year.

George

Badge for graduation from the School of Naval Engineers of the Emperior Nicholas I at Kronshtadt.

Looks to be an original badge in need of a light soapy warm water cleaning.

i would not use a silver cleaner.

Look nice with its age.

George

Odd piece.

i cant find any reference on this badge.

The top monogram is for peter the 1st

the lower for Nicholas, the "II" could be broken off.

Is there anything at the bottom of the garland? your scan is a bit dark to see.

Either way it is Imp. Russian in design. could be just a unattribuated badge.

I have not seen this one floating around as a FAKE anywhere.

George

Rick is correct.

I did find a civilian german belt buckle with the crossed keys logo.

Civilian Locksmith visor cap, Hotel staff or security staff.
