Greetings Gentlemen,

I have just acquired these two Imperial Russia ribbon bars and I would be very grateful if you could share your opinions about them.

If I'm not mistaking ribbons are for:

- Order of St. Anne 2nd Class

- Order of St. Stanislaus 2nd Class

- Order of St. George 4th Class

- Order of St. Vladimir 4th Class

- Order of St. Anne 3rd Class

- Order of St. Stanislaus 3rd Class

There is a supporting metal piece inside both of them and I have checked them under UV light, they do not glow. I am satisfied with their overall

condition although signs of wear are pretty obvious. Considering that ribbon bars were never officially introduced in Imperial Russia and that I

haven't seen many of them before, I was wondering could these two have belonged to the same person? I think that they did but what confuses

me is the question why aren't all ribbons on a single bar (for example in two rows)? And even more important, if these two bars belonged to

the same person wouldn't it be logical to put St. George 4th Class in front of both St. Anne and St. Stanislaus 2nd Class beacause it's higher

in the order of precedence? Could it be that the primary criterion was dimension of the ribbons and then place of a particular decoration in the

order of precedence?

Regards,

Radmilo

      Sounds great other than the Orange & Mango squash only because I prefer cran-pomegranate juice.

      "(...) disgusting herbal concoction (...)" I took note of this description, to enrich my otherwise limited, English "Wortschatz"...

      At work the standard indian tea such as PG tips is referred to as chimp tea. This goes back to the days when we had a Spanish girl working for us whose command of the English language was extremely limited. One lunch she said she was going to the shop could she get anything. I asked if she could get a pack of tea bags. She returned with some disgusting herbal concoction. I tried to explain what was required but without success. I then remembered PG tips had a picture of a chimpanzee on the packe

      When I read Lapsang Souchong i decided to post something about these Tea . Many years ago I dont  know about Lapsang until I read James Michener book Centennial and the description of the savour of the Lapasang as a mix of tar and salt & smoked made me proof . It was exact ! and i liked it since then .

      I have been known to drink Lapsang Souchong and Tea, Earl Grey, Hot... both "without pollutants". I normally have one mug of coffee in the morning, then spend the rest of the day drinking Orange & Mango squash (by the pint). Then evening comes and it's a pint, followed by red wine with dinner and sometimes a drop of Laphroaig afterwards.
