A.I.
Vilkov, C. 2004, Moscow. Russian text, hard cover, 111 pp.
Beautiful publication in full color, with excellent picture
quality, glossy paper. 11" x 8.5". Shows dozens of
examples
of pocket watches awarded for excellent marksmanship,
equestrian skills, sportsmanship or military school

with honors.
Also widely represented in the book are presentation watches bearing portraits of the royal family and high military commanders. The text provides detailed history of this traditional award of the Russian army, with guidelines and criteria for bestowing it.

The book shows award decrees and has examples of advertising materials by leading award watch manufacturers such as Paul Bure. Highly recommended!
