Russian imperial orders to Prussian army

[Aleks]

During the franco-prussian war 1870-1871 many Prussian soldiers were decorated with Russian imperial orders. And even with order of St. George. For example, Kaiser Alexander Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr.1, according to it regiment history have got 39 St. George orders of 5. class. Is there any statistic about such decorations?

Here is a Pre-1905 Knight 2nd Class of the Bavarian MVO that was likely once paired with a 3rd Class St. Stanislaus. Why the SS got "liberated" is anyone's guess.
