Imperial suspension examples
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. Alexei |

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. Alexei |

Something like this?
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.

That's still a Soviet suspension. OK, The forum seems to be back to normal. Unfortunately, the scan is quite small. Awards are original and so are the suspensions; ribbons are repros and the group is put together. Alexei |

Soviet suspension with imperial medals.
Makes sense now that there are pictures of proper imperial suspensions. That's why ribbons are too big for the suspension I guess. Hopefully not fake medals too but anything is possible...if not likely.
I also like the hallmark stamps on the real imperial suspensions. Way cool |
