In gold and enamels; measures 38.3 mm in height (incl. eyelet), 34.5 mm in width; weighs 7.7 g not including the connecting loop. The reverse upper arm shows maker mark ВД ("VD", the initials of Vera Dietwald, the widow and heiress of the original owner of the firm Eduard Dietwald). The eyelet has a "56" gold assay inspection hallmark with "Kokoshnik".

Excellent condition throughout. The red and black enamel on the arms in particular is exceptionally well preserved: it shows a beautiful luster and is completely free of any wear visible to the naked eye; there are only a few microscopic contact marks, all of them totally unnoticeable without magnification. The center medallion on both sides is essentially pristine, with the enamel and artwork perfect and intact. Comes with a connecting loop in what appears to be solid gold (not tested for gold content.)

This piece is a classic Order of St. Vladimir of the late pre-WW1 - early WW1 era, an official issue commissioned by the Kapitul (Chancellery) of Russian Orders as opposed to those made privately. Condition-wise, it is a truly superb example.
