Igor Ostapenko Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Original cross from 1904-1905 War . 1 hour ago, Mike McLellan said: Igor, If you have time, please give us some basis for your conclusions.

You can see pictures of original crosses "yellow metall" http://medalirus.ru/georgievskie-kresty/gk-1917-1.php and second http://medalirus.ru/georgievskie-kresty/zovo-inovertsy.php
Egorka Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) The 4th grade soldier's St. George cross # 174604 should be app. 1904 for Russia - Japan war. The Russian letters "Ж" stands for Yellow, and "М" for Metal. So if it does not look yellow, it is no right, IMHO. Edited February 13, 2017 by Egorka
