Claudius Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 A simply folded ribbon configuration that someone then glued to a black, woolly surface. A coat?, a blanket? I don't even know if this was done by the original recipient, a family member or by a collector (if so, a disgraceful presentation technique) The ribbon itself appears to be what I would call..."parade-wrap". Another possibility is that the bow tie configuration is not unlike the way Imp. Germans women mounted and displayed their women decorations. But I wouldn't think a combatant order would be awarded to a woman. I understand that the Russians used a bow ON a ribbon to denote a higher class medal/cross, but this isn't a bow on ribbon. The ribbon is in a bow. Has anyone seen an example of this kind of parade-wrap style for a Russian orders? (And then glued it to their clothing?)
Treloarth Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Yes I have at least one, including a very similar Stanislas which is definitely original, that looks exactly the same.
Heinz Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Hello, just have a look. I have also the miniatures... Russian orders are always quite beatiful! Regards
Heinz Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 ... and let me show you also the miniatures. Excuse the bad quality. I took the pictures with the scanner. I´ll try to post it again with real photos. Regards
