<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jivvy, post: 904741, member: 8184&quot;]This is a very interesting article on Russian imperial orders: <a href="http://numismatics.org/digitallibrary/ark:/53695/nnan111388" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/digitallibrary/ark:/53695/nnan111388" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/digitallibrary/ark:/53695/nnan111388</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Per this article, one thing that is true for many, if not all of the orders, is that when a badge was awarded to a non-Christian, the saint/religious text/Christian symbol that would normally appear was replaced with imperial eagle.</p><p><br /></p><p>There may be more info to be gleaned, but it&#039;s a little too late for me to be reading/comprehending such heady text. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
