Just stumbled upon this thread. The top one is a class of 1915 graduation jeton of the 2nd Cadet Corps in St.Petersbourg, the other one - 100-year anniversary of the Russian Railway Ministery, Robert Werlich's identification of that one is not correct. Both are so called jetons, worn on the uniform button, suspended from a chain, unlike screw back badges, so naturally they can't be found in Patrikeev's badges catalog.

Hat insignia of the Russian Militia troops. Given the number of the troops was few hundred thousand, there has been a great deal of these badges produces so my guess on the current price would be $20-50.

Nice document, Claudius. Looks like a gun possession and carrying license issued in the Ukraine in the turbulent post-revolution year. The text is quite standard and does not imply any special occasion or purpose of this permit other than general use.

Greetings, Linas, With all due respect – the biggest issue with your star is that it is six-pointed. All examples of the White Eagle star known to me, both Polish and Russian are eight-pointed as shown by numerous examples above and as per official order insignia descriptions. Changing the basic outline of the order insignia is something quite uncommon so seeing a six-pointed White Eagle star is as shocking as seeing an eight-rayed Legion d'Honneur or a four-pointed Soviet Hero star. You may want to ask your experts to refer you to any other known six-pointed examples of this star and share these examples with the collector community with educational purposes. Without such a research and comparison to known six-pointed examples no serious expert can claim this to be a genuine star, let alone give any price estimate on it. In your initial post you are asking for other members' opinion regarding authenticity of this piece so let me express mine: this star is a fantasy.

The right one is a graduation jetton. It says "Graduation ball" above the date and the name on the reverse is S. Bogdanovitch. Sorry, I cannot figure out the four-letter institution logo on these jettons.
