Bayern Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hello, A rough guide : The shoulder boards made of gold or silver lace with a zig zag pattern and with no stripes are for Generals. The ones made of lace with two stripes are for Field Officers ,those with one stripe are for company officers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hello Sajkaca, The hussars pogoni is that of a Full captain or that of a Sub captain ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sajkaca Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 There is no Captain in hussars, equivalent rank is called Rotmistr. Shtabs Rotmistr of 12th Hussars is on the picture and Rotmistr (full captain) would be with no pips (stars). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Sajkaca, Thanks for your answer , the Rotmistr was in fact the Russian equivalent of the German Rittmeister, The Bulgarian Cavalry and Artillery Captain was Rotmistr also if i am not wrong. Cossacks have Podesaul and Esaul ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hello Sajkaca . thanks for your answer to my question about Nicholas II uniform and another question : The Garde Equipage were the Imperial Marines ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russian lancer Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Sorry colleague, but it's incorrect identification. There were no "Imperial Marines". Shoulder-boards with such monogramms were in the rowing teams of three Guards Infantry regiments: Preobrazhenski, Semenovski and Kexholmski.

It's a general trend: most of the forums slowly die, as global communication is significantly transferred to social networks: Facebook, etc. I've been observing this phenomenon even on Russian military forums in the last years.

JanneP Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Is there good social media forum where is discussed about imperial russian shoulder boards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russian lancer Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi! There are no "global" discussions dedicated only to shoulder-boards and epaulettes on Russian forums, or on social networks. However there are many smaller discussions which bring you interesting information. First of all you can check the Russian Imperial Uniforms section of the Sammler.ru forum, and I suggest you to visit the "Imperial Russian Military Photos" group on FB. You can also check my own profile on FB - I'm Michael Doubrovin. Unfortunately I don't collect shoulder-boards anymore, but I have a lifelong scope on the history of Russian lancers regiments (including their insignia).

Sajkaca Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) Or to be more precise, on furlough. Frankly speaking, I was expecting that someone else will pick it up and continue. This time something extremely rare, shoulder board of the Royal Yugoslav 16th Infantry Regiment of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II. Regiment was named after Emperor in 1911, after Serbian Princess Helena got married to Duke of the royal blood Ioan Konstantinovich Romanov, and cipher was introduced in 1937.

JanneP Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hello! Those who have better knowledge can you identify these shoulder boards? In the middle picture, second shoulder board from the right. I think in that should be printed the crown and the insignia of Nicholas II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hello the Cipher of Nicholas II is a latin capital H crowned and with the roman numeral II .in the second row of SBs it appears on the first one from left to right ,marked with Ink pencil, and on the third and fourth SBs on the third metallic and ond the fourth stencilled in yellow . On the lower picture appears a Full General SB , no stars , a Lieutenant General SB , a Official of General rank SB ,and a Rear Admiral Sb .

JanneP Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Thank you! What about the colours of the shoulder boards. In upper picture there are blue, red, orange and grey. Those indicate which branches of the army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hello, the link posted by Prem is very interesting, I will add some quotes . The pair of SBs on the first pic are not Russian , probably are Serbian . the black, piped red SB is from Artillery and of a senior NCO , The blue one with the Nr 108 is from the 108th Saratov Infantry Regiment ,the khaki one with Nr 108 is from the same regiment the reverse side of the blue one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanneP Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hello! Thank you for your answers! Of course always you can tell me more about. When on shoulder board is initials like N(icholas) II does it always mean that he is the honorary commander of that unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
