Design & Details
- Averse (Front Side): The badge is designed in the shape of a classic Maltese cross covered in deep, dark blue/black enamel, framed by a clean white enamel border. At the center sits a silver-toned multi-ray faceted star (resembling the Star of the Order of St. George). The very center features a prominent golden medallion with the stylized monogram of Empress Catherine II (the Great), who originally founded the regiment.
- Reverse (Back Side): The reverse features a solid brass/golden metallic finish, showing the clean assembly points of the multi-piece emblem and the sturdy central mounting structure.
- Finish & Materials: Features a beautiful combination of rich dark enamel, crisp white borders, and layered golden/silver-toned metallic elements with a subtle, clean patina.
- Attachment: Features a traditional screw-back mechanism (threaded post with a brass hex nut on the reverse) for secure fastening to clothing, heavy uniforms, or display felt.
Specifications & Condition
- Condition: Excellent collectible condition. As a premium reproduction, the enamel work across all cross sections is fully intact, smooth, and free of cracks or chips. The threaded screw post is completely solid and ready for use.
- Visual Appeal: The striking multi-piece construction combining the Maltese cross design with the Imperial Order of St. George aesthetics and the intricate monogram makes this badge a highly aesthetic and unique showpiece.
Historical Note
The 4th Cuirassier Military Order Regiment was one of the most elite heavy cavalry units of the Russian Imperial Army, established in the 18th century. The regiment bore the name of the "Military Order" because its trumpets, standards, and eventually this regimental badge heavily incorporated the symbols of the Order of St. George to celebrate the unit's immense bravery on the battlefield.
