Measures 8 x 10 ½", in laminated hard cover, 288 pp. lavishly illustrated with high-resolution color and some b/w period photos. The foreword, index, and captions are in Russian and English.

The book is in brand-new never-used condition, showing only one corner bump and three microscopic scuffs to the laminate at the corners. The textblock is pristine.

Part of the Encyclopedia of the Russian Army series, the book is dedicated entirely to belt plates. A rare treat in every aspect, from the luxury paper it is printed on and abundance of high-resolution illustrations and photos, to the joy of finally having a comprehensive research on the history of the Russian Imperial Army and Navy belt plates. The author is a highly regarded authority on the subject of Imperial Russian military uniforms.

We have only a single copy of this out-of-print book available, and it is in brand-new unused condition.

Please note that the pen in our last photo is for size reference.
