China 2 miniature Double Dragons

[larsb001]

With all the fine full size Doble Dragons presented here today I'd like to show two miniatures for your amusement.

First, a fine piece in Gold:

And then a more crude piece in Silver with a twisted center but also quite toned:

Enjoy, Lars

As always excellent minis, Lars!

Thanks for sharing these Lars. We don't see many miniatures of the Double Dragons.

Interestingly, the first example is of a 2nd Type but the manufacturer has used diamond cut rays for the star.

OK, just got another chain with a nice set of Double Dragons, I believe it's a 1st type 2nd class set, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Nick, would it be too much to assume that you can produce a picture of the wearer in a few seconds

The chain seems untouched, would it be seen that a wearer would wear 2 Anna's and 2 Stanislaus', for example if he got several classes?

Anyway, enjoy, Lars

Lars, as ever absolutely amazing, how you manage to get such fantastic miniatures amazes me.

As we see, Pavel Frydryhovych wear all classes of St. Vladimir order.

Same goes for St.Anna

Interesting that he added treasure but not rs

Interesting that he added treasure but not rs

Probably this is because it`s not his chain

[utopis]

Probably this is because it`s not his chain

I see. had some doubts about it, anyways

[JapanX]

Ok. Remember I told you once how dangerous overworking can be

Of course this is a different cavalier.

His photo was posted as an example of japanese and chinese awards at "russian chest".

I remember, though it seems, I haven't taken your advice serious enough

OMSA (US) had an article in the current (September-October 2014) issue on Double Dragon and from that I agree that your mini set on the long chain are Second Class. Second class is silver, first class is gold like the gold mini on your first post. Second class Neck Badge had five rays or petals. First Class had six. On the Star it looks just like the badge in the OMSA article with blue and green clouds as the border to the central circle and a single pink/coral stone in the center. (Second Class - third grade)

The next to last badge looks like a Type 2 neck badge of the second class, third grade except the pink/coral stones appear to be missing. Get Gavin's book or read the OMSA article. Maybe OMSA will post it eventually.

All, thanks for the comments, was hoping for an ID of the man but knew this would probably be too optimistic. Seems I got the DD class right.

I thought you were kidding, Lars

Currently this is simply impossible.

There are no available (or even known) lists of St.Vladimir and St.Stanislaus cavaliers.

[larsb001]

Hi Nick, I was kidding, but then again, sometimes someone can produce the impossible when one least expect it ????

But I am still pleased with this chain, even without a name.
