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.

Jeff,
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.

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

Eric,
I should have a better scans showing that mark. Will try to find it.

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
