Alex . Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Authentic, most likely European made. Prices around: $200 & $300. Here is very similar one ... Edited August 14, 2020 by Alex . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Agree with Alex. Russia did not have a tradition of miniatures. They were mainly worn by overseas Russian diplomats and forrign recipients of Russian awards. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex . Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Thank you JapanX! I was wondering, who is the manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toplica Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Thank you very much. I suspected Chobillion as the producer of the gold one. Chobillon advertised two miniatures of this order in their sale catalogue. This is definitely the smaller one. The one that worries me is the silver one posted above. That miniature is structured in a way that I have not seen before. Any idea who might be the producer? Also the time of the production? These are the photos from the original Chobillon sale catalogue. You can see St Stanislaus miniature in two sizes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Most likely this mini of british origin. It looks like originally it had swords. Something like that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toplica Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Thank you very much. To be honest, I didn't buy that one, but I bought the smaller one made in gold. Lovely piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toplica Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 St Anna with swords, 20 mm silver, Looks like French production, but not sure 14 mm silver, Any idea who might be the producer of this one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex . Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) It's hard to say, who is the manufacturer, because there are no maker's marks. I have two St. Anna miniatures that look similar to yours. First British, second French made. Edited August 15, 2020 by Alex . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, british St.Anna miniatures are pretty close to the french. So it`s practically impossible to identified the manufacturer without marks (or without group). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toplica Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 St Anna miniature, 11mm, gold This might be French production, A.Bertrand according to some catalogues that I have. Unfortunately, this catalogue contains illustrations, but I am almost sure this is the piece from the catalogue. If someone knows for sure, please tell us.

James RS Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I am in the market for a miniature St Stanislaus medal, 2nd class with swords. I would prefer not solid gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
