Imperial Russian gentleman photo

[Claudius]

Hello;

I picked this up today at my favorite neighborhood 2nd hand bric-a-brac store.  I thought his badge and collar tab came out well in the photo, but the pogoni is a bit blurry.  Unfortunately no writing on the back.

Not that high. 

He is only collegiate assessor.

 

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_Ranks

 

High ranked chaps from his department look like this guy (Vice Inspector of the Foresters' Corps).

Lieutenat Colonel Equivalent is not High Rank ?

1st/4th class are the "high ranks".

He is only 6th.
