• remarks

  The order of White Eagle became a Russian order in 1831, and the first type (1831-1856) features a large crown without blue ribbons. During this period official stars were issued only as embroidered versions (although metal stars could have been obtained as private purchase insignia). Value of higher-end Russian Orders varies greatly; value depends on period and quality of manufacture, maker and the provenance; as well as value of Russian currency and general economic situation in Russia. A rare award.
