Claudius Posted September 25, 2009 Share 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 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Yes I have at least one, including a very similar Stanislas which is definitely original, that looks exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way the wings extend into the enamel "cross" arms. Nice mini's too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
