Russian Cap badge of crap badge

[Peppe864]

Hi guys!

 

Not my field of collecting. I don´t know if this poor one is a real cap badge or a crap badge?

Cany anyone shed some light on this issue? My research indicated that it might be a cap badge, or at least want to resemble one 😃

Looks as a cap badge for Territorial Army  for Christians ,the non Christians used a plate . the quality of Imperial Rusian Army pieces of uniform varied enormously ,

I may be wrong but I seem to recall this being described as a 'militia badge'.  I would also lean, slightly, towards it being authentic, but it's way out of my main fields of collecting.

Original from the reign of Nicholas II. It's the Cross of Militia. For Christians. Wearing hats

[Bayern]

It was roughly the equivalent of the German Landwehr Cross . For Christians ,the Muslims or Jews used a plate

[PREM]

Yes, indeed worn by non-Christians looked like this
