St. George Cross for Bravery, 4th cl. in white metal, #1M/228532, most likely a Provisional Government issue of 1917. In outstanding condition.
St. George Cross for Bravery, a so-called "Czech" version in silvered brass,

was stamped at the Czechoslovak State Mint and awarded to members of the
Czechoslovak Legion upon their return from the battlefields of the Russian Civil
War. An exceptionally interesting piece in excellent condition.
St. George Medal for Bravery, 4th class, Russian Civil War issue by a private

1918-1920. Exceptionally rare and interesting piece in fair to good condition.
Artillery Officer School Graduate Badge, 1909-1917. In brass. The imperial crown
has been removed after the fall of the monarchy in 1917, almost certainly by the
original owner. The badge is in excellent condition otherwise.

by Kuchkin Factory. Patriotic likeness of the last Prime Minister of the Russian
Provisional Government. In superb condition, very uncommon for a donation jetton

Army (aka Armed Forces of the South of Russia.) In excellent condition,
outstanding for a decoration issued during the Russian Civil War.

Jeton for Winning a First Prize.
One of the very first Soviet awards or badges of any kind,

still raging. The striking "revolutionary" design of this
piece is very characteristic of its era.
Badge to an Honest Warrior of the Karelian Front, 1922.
Scarce
decoration of the Russian Civil War period, essentially the
