Peppe864 Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Hello guys! I have used the old friend google, checked some books but I have failed to ID these badges, I have come to the conlusion that they are from imperial russia. Can anyone help med with ID on these badges? Any help appriciated, many thanks beforehand. And I don´t have better or more pictures.
Peppe864 Posted February 23, 2022 Author Posted February 23, 2022 Hello! Many thanks for your reply and the information regarding the badges. I don´t understand why you are jumping to conlusions? No need to be rude. I am not going to buy these badges, I do not collect imperial russian items. I am not saying anything about the originality of these badges, I just simply was asked by a friend if I new which regimental designations these badges had. I couldn´t find the info through google nor in the old books I have, just general award books of international medals and orders. That is why I asked here.

TJLA Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Thanks for posting those pics @Peppe864, it'll help others understand what's fake/real. There is very little info online, there's a couple Russian forums that a couple guys contribute here as well. @Simius Rex, can you recommend any good reference books on Russian badges? As you've pointed out, it's a minefield and so many fakes. (that and I can never have enough books in my library!)
paul wood Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Sergei Patrikeev's 3 volume work on russian badges is by far the best work bilingual russian&english Costly but worth every kopeck P 1
JapanX Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Unfortunately all above mentioned books will not save you from modern fakes of imperial russian badges. Introductory catalogues at best.
Peppe864 Posted February 24, 2022 Author Posted February 24, 2022 Many thanks for all the help, much appriciated! Thanks for the links and all info.
