А parade helmet of army dragoon regiment introdused after Russo-Japan War.

But as far as I can see it is a faked one.

As far as I can see photo made in P?rnu (now Estonia) circa WWI.

Best regards.

Gentlemen,

The following two posts are of a 50mm Gold Medallion depicting Nicholas II and Alexander II that I am trying to identify. Might there be a member that can help me solve this puzzle.

Thanks much!

Nicholas II and Alexander III

Sergey,

... I'd like to post some more photos with writing on the back and see what elase we can find out about those people who appear in the album. Would you be willing to do this?

Regards,

Gordon

Gordon,

No problem. Don't hesitate to ask me.

Thanks a lot.

The name of this staff captain of 9 grenadier Siberian regiment is Alexander.

I know only one Alexander in this regiment decorated with 4 class St. George order - Alexander Sotskiy (Александр Соцкий).

Regards,

Sergey.

P.S. I hope you excuse my bad English. S.

Brian R,

I can not definitely identify the uniforms but I can post a couple of pictures from a Russian WWI family album to give you a better idea of what Russian uniforms of the period looked like. Most of the fotos in the album are not dated but there are a couple on the first page of the album that are dated 1916. The first picture is from the first page and shows the common Russian tunic of the period.

Regards,

Gordon

Gordon,

Do your know the name of the officer?

Regards,

Sergey.

Here's a scan of the great grandfather. I'm assuming he was a general with those shoulder boards? Oddly, I would have expected a royal cypher on them? Thoughts?

It is a photo of Mikhail Vasiliyevich Alekseyev (1857-1918)
