Дорогой (kbg_dnepr),

спасибо за помощь, но я не могу найти Св. Владимира к 5 жемчугу или 5 алмазам в концах креста!

Я не могу найти российскую Премию, которая смотрит близко или подобный этому!

Dear (kbg_dnepr),

thank you for helping, but I can't find any St. Vladimir with 5 pearls or 5 diamonds at the ends of the cross!

I can't find any Russian Award which looks close or similar to this!

Dear Martinoff!
In my opinion (taking into account the quality of the photo), the reward on the chest of the man is hanging on a ribbon. In the Russian Empire, almost all of the orders of the second and third grade were wearing like this. Object really looks like a Maltese cross ("the tail of a swallow"), but also like a regular "expanding" cross.
Signs of the order were often decorated with diamonds by laureates themselves.
Another version: this is the Order of St. Anne. http://www.sobiratel.net/zaslu...I-1820.jpg, http://www.sobiratel.net/zaslu...I-1835.jpg.
(Sorry for my English )

F. Martinoff
If I understood you correctly, this man was a priest??? A Catholic priest???


P.S. I found your old message with a question about the Martynov' coat of arms. You have not found it, as I understand. I have information about another 2 arms: Alexei Martynov, Colonel (granted 1846.11.15) and descendants of Alexei Martynov, Collegiate Councilor (granted 1863.03.29). If you are interested - let me know.

With my best regards,
SVKM de L.

Correction....they elected him Bishop of Wilno around 1880

in 1874 Univ. Dorpat claims that he was a member of the Maltese Order!

here his transfer from Dorpat in 1874!

this is about Archbishop Fialkowski in 1872

sorry the original text is in Italian!

""""""3. L'avvenimento più recente e più importante per noi cattolici è la solenne installazione del nuovo Metropolita di tutte le Chiese cattoliche romane dell' Impero Russo, S. E. Revma Mgr A. Fialkowski, Arcivescovo di Mohilew. La solenne funzione ebbe luogo nella Chiesa cattolica romana maltese di S. Giovanni di Gerusalemme, la quale trovasi entro il grandioso rdilizio del corpo de'Paggi Imperiali. Uno dei quattro Vescovi, qui presenti,

.....con tutti gli ecclesiastici della Chiesa maltese,..........

salutava il Metropolita e gli fece una specie di relazione delle condizioni presenti della Chiesa cattolica in Russia. 1 vostri lettori saranno però non poco sorpresi d' udire, che tale atto venne effettuato non in lingua russa, ma sibbene in lingua francese.""""""""
