Some rare photos and original design drawings.

Actually the design of modern St.Andrew badge is much closer to design of the badge that belonged to Peter the Great, than to Keibel and Eduard badges from early XX century

Looks like there are two variations of badge.

One with spreaded ribbons and another one with gathered ribbons.

Yes not a thing of great beauty in comparison to the original, post 9 is such a big lad the star looks like a miniature on breast, he could certainly have worn the full set down to St Stanislaus without looking overloaded.
