This listing is for one replica Imperial Russian Order of Saint Stanislaus, 1st Class Breast Star with Swords.
This reproduction is inspired by the historic Order of Saint Stanislaus (Орден Святого Станислава), originally instituted in 1765 and later associated with the House of Romanov in Imperial Russia. The design reflects the Type II period (1856–1917) and the Military Division style, identified by the crossed swords passing through the central medallion.
The front features a striking eight-point breast star with clustered smooth silver-toned rays, crossed gilt swords, and a richly decorated center with a red “SS” monogram on white enamel-style ground. Surrounding the center is the order’s motto, PRAEMIANDO INCITAT (“Rewarding Encourages”), together with gilt laurel decoration on a green enamel-style background. The reverse has a vertical pin fitting for wear, display, or collection.
This is a decorative reproduction piece only, made for collectors, display, reenactment, costume, prop, or historical appreciation.

Historical Background:
The Order of Saint Stanislaus was first established in 1765 and later became part of the Imperial Russian honors system under the House of Romanov. The breast star version is among the most recognizable forms of the order. In military-style versions, the addition of crossed swords distinguished the design and gave it a stronger martial character. The central monogram, laurel wreath, and motto PRAEMIANDO INCITAT are key visual elements historically associated with this order.
