Hi ,
Just thought i would post this ,as i have owned it for twenty years ,and bought it off an old gent who aquired it in WW2.
You ften see copies ,only seen one other genuine one and that was at Spinks Auctions in 1997....
All the best

Great find Imperial Russian items are scarce and anything that is associated with early Russian pilots is even rarer well done!

Hello arrestingu,

Looks like at least the swords (if not also the double headed-eagle in the center) have been replaced on your badge.

Cheers
