[QUOTE="nastina.nastea, post: 9718491, member: 81895"]It is signed in Russian and it says the following (translated by lines): "Colonel Shulman (or Shulpan, can't read clearly) and Captain Von Peter" (written in a circle and these might be the names of men that are on the plate). 1st Guards Artillery Brigade Battery battery (it's a bit of taftology here, but it means kind of a battery group; sorry I'm not very good in military terminology) Of His Imperial Majesty Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich Year 1902" There are few abbreviations/word cuts that I translated in full. Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich was the younger brother of 2 Russian Emperors: Alexander I & Nicholas I. Info from Wikipedia in regards of the 1st Guards Artillery Brigade and Duke Mikhail Pavlovich connection: The chief of the battalion was appointed Paul's (Russian Emperor) youngest son, Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich, then still a minor, whose entire future career was connected with artillery, and the battalion itself in March 1800 was named the Life Guards Artillery Battalion of His Imperial Highness Michael Pavlovich (but on March 14, 1801 became again just the Life Guards Artillery Battalion). Who are Colonel Shulman (or Shulpan) and Captain Von Peter is a matter of further research) But it looks like this plate is a part of the collection that was dedicated to some Russian Imperial military personalities and/or some significant dates in their military history.[/QUOTE]
