This pair is somewhat more troublesome.
It seems to be an unissued pair (but ruined by time and moths), but not for a military officer.
The lace on the frontside looks like generals' and seems to have been of greenish-silver colour, piping and stripes - of dark green colour (faded on one board) and the back - of red colour, but it has been almost compleately eaten by moths.
Surprisingly, the buttons are blank and have no stamps.
From the remains of paper labels on the back I can read:
1."...ASSEL'." and below"...roe serebro..."
2."...ovich".
Who would have worn them and what would be their value?
