Imperial Russia What you get when St.Andrew is your first Russian Order

[JapanX]

According to 1876 statute-book of Russian Orders when somebody gets St. Andrew Order and it is his first russian order, then he automatically gets all four "junior" russian orders

• Alexander Nevsky
  
• St. Anna
  
• White Eagle
  
• St. Stanislav
  

"All included"

Here comes this part from statute-book

All orders in this set were made by Keibel (we will examine them a little bit later ), the manufacturer of the box is unknown.
