Russo-Japanese War Shoulder board?

Hi all,
Just after some assistance with this interesting Imperial Russian pogony.

From the little research I was able to do I have surmised that it may have belonged to someone from a rifle regiment and that at one time they were a sergeant. I have no clue as to the unit. The letters are, I believe "квс".

Thanks in advance for your help.

You are correct on the rank and branch of service.

I think you will find the letters read "KVS".

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Adrian.

You don't happen to know what unit the letters correspond to? Most of the others I have seen have numerals denoting the regiment it belonged to, but this one does not seem to have that. Maybe some type of support or mounted unit?

[Adrian Stevenson]

No idea, sorry! Imperial Russian is not really my thing.

Cheers, Ade.

What you are looking at is actually "14.B.-C.", which is the 14th East Siberian Rifle Regiment. It was part of the 4.Siberian Rifle Division, with it's peacetime garrison in Strjetensk (German spelling).
