Re: RIA insignia from my ancestors
As I did not get any information here, I have made some of research myself. This information might not be accurate, as I am no expert and have no good literature on the subject.
1 - Konstantinovsky Artillery Academy successful shooting award?
2- Unknown Academy jeton
3- Vladikavkaski Academy jeton
4- Vladikavkaski Academy graduation badge?
5- Poltava Cadet Corps of Emperor Peter the Great, 73rd Class Graduation badge?
6- Supporting pin?
7- Family Souvenir?
8- Family Souvenir?
9- Family Souvenir?
10- Imperial Hat Officer's Cockade
11- Three different imperial buttons
12- Imperial button for shoulder board (nr.16) or?
13- Poltava Cadet Corps of Emperor Peter the Great Officer Badge?
14- 8th Uhlan Voznesensky Regiment officer's badge
15- Badge, maybe just a part of a bigger one?
16- Imperial Navy Admiral shoulder board? As the one worn by admiral Kolchak?
17- 15th Emperor Alexander III's Pereyaslav Dragoon Regiment officer shoulder board?
Thank you for the private messages with offers to buy the insignia. As I have said in my previous post, this belongs to my ancestors and their colleagues who lived in emigration in Croatia since 1921. I am not trying to sell any, I am just trying to find out whom belonged which insignia, because I have some photos and other memorabilia I am trying to connect with actual people. Thank you for any help.

Re: RIA insignia from my ancestors
The shoulder strap with two eagles is a Counter -admiral board

Re: RIA insignia from my ancestors
The Counter-Admiral shoulder-board is pre-1917 issue, the other shoulder-board with Alexander III monogramm is a captain of the 3rd Lancers Smolensky Regiment, if I recall correctly, since 1907. But judging by inaccurate manufacture, it is more likely dated by late WWI period, or even Civil War and Emigration.
