imperial russia Long Service Chevrons

[Glenn J]

Can any of our Russian experts please explain the system of Tsarist long service chevrons as worn by soldiers on the left sleeve of their uniforms prior to World War One? What was the qualifying period for each subsequent award and the significance of either a gold or silver chevron? Could the Russian name in cyrillic script also be provided for these long service chevrons?

Thanks
Glenn

Just as a follow-up; the links show the pattern and regulations in effect from 1890. I would also be grateful for any information regarding the period prior to that.

Thanks
