Found these images on the web while searching for a St.George medal.
You can plainly see from where the Soviets modeled their suspensions.
The double may or may not be authentic although the design is what I'm trying to illustrate.
I thought there was a thread elsewhere on the forum about Soviet suspensions but I couldn't find it.
Anyway.....

Eric,

I am not sure about the double suspension, but I believe the first one is a fake.

The suspension &/or the medal?
I was just trying to illustrate what Imperial suspensions looked like as there are so few out there to be seen.

Eric,

No, I was talking only about the suspension.

I can't swear to authenticity, though. The ribbons are reversed in direction although a previous discussion resulted in photos of generals and admirals in their VP uniforms with a mix of ribbon directions. The third view shows comparison to soviet OG showing the ribbons are actually a little wider and it's more of a black and orange than black and yellow.

Jeffrey,

That multiple suspension is a later Soviet manufacture.

Wow! Tha's some grouping! I notice the makers marke on both suspensions. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

I have two Imperial Russian medals with these two suspensions.
Anyone shed some light on them, just the hangers.

Larry,

The second one looks like what it should be. The first one is very similar to the way the French wore their medals around WW1.

The 2nd one could be a replica, need better pictures with the ribbon removed.
