Graf Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 The swords could indicate that the scout was a member of cavalry unit Someone perhaps know whether the 1st Class/Grade was highest or lowest one Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR61 Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Hello! Thanks so much for the info guys! I find it difficult to find information about the medals and badges of the Russian Empire. There is certainly a lot of information in Russian, but my Russian is non-existent. With kind regards Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IR61 Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Hi Japan X! Wow, what a lot of information! Exactly what I wanted, thank you. If these are all variations then my badge is not original, is it? Thanks again! Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
