 |
|
"Russian Imperial Orders of Chivalry from the
Collection
of the State History Museum"., S. Levin C. 2003,
Moscow.
Hard cover with dust jacket, 159 pp. In Russian with
brief
translation of the captions under photos and
illustrations.
Beautifully illustrated publication, with extremely
fine
close-up photos.
Some of the Imperial decorations presented in the book
are
among the rarest. Many are attributed to the original
owner, and all have very detailed description with
precise
size, weight, hallmarks etc. - something not to be
found in
any other reference book. Another first is extremely
detailed explanation of regulations concerning
Imperial
orders - down to amount that the recipient had to
donate to
the coffer of the Order after the decoration was
bestowed.
Very helpful is a table of correlation between the
military,
civilian and court ranks and the advancement in rank
that
would follow an award. Lastly, there is an all
important
list of hallmarks of all major Russian manufacturers
of
decorations, with their brief history.
Spectacular and irreplaceable reference!
