Default Russian Badge

The badge is that of the House of Romanov. The central shield portrays St George slaying the dragon and I think this is Imperial Russian in origin worn during the time of the Tsar. Clearly it has been modified at some time for wearing somewhere different to that originally intended. Sadly I do not have any books of reference for this Country or period but someone out there will.

Best wishes

Gordon
