Imperial Russia Imperial Medical Academy Jubilee Graduation Badge

[Chuck In Oregon]

Actually, I think it is actually the Imperial Military Medical Academy, but I'm not positive. Anyway, this is their 1898 100-Year Jubilee Graduation Badge. You can see it in Avers-5, page 82, item 10. Avers lists gold and silver variants, this one is bronze. There are traces of a silver wash on the inside of the screwplate and I'm guessing this badge was once silver-plated ... if poorly. I guess you got whatever level of posh you or your family could afford once you graduated.

Enjoy.

Really nice. The Oaks and Laurals remind me of the wreath on Luftwaffe Qualification Badges.

I knew I had this photo around here somewhere. As usual, I was looking for something else when I came across it.

And here's the reverse. If you can read Cyrillic cursive, I would enjoy knowing what this says.
