Badges of Russia, Volume III, Patrikeev & Boynovich,
C 2005, Moscow - St Petersburg. Russian text with English
captions. Hardcover with dust jacket, 319 pp. 11" x 8.5" x
1" thick.
This is the third and final installment in the
groundbreaking series on Russian Imperial badges by S.
Patrikeev & A. Boyonovich. Due to ongoing research since the
series inception, this volume includes many additional
badges not covered in Volumes 1-2 and also close-up photos
of many of those that only had drawings. On pages 171 - 183
are corrections in Russian and English to the first two
volumes. Very importantly, this book contains a price
estimate for every item in Volumes 1 through 3 as of the
beginning of 2006.
There is also a section with recent reproductions, a real
eye-opener. A very worthy conclusion to a truly
outstanding series, a "must have" for the serious collector
of Russian badges.
