St. George’s Cross – Special Manchurian Detachment, White Army Replica A172

A faithful replica of the rare Soldier’s Cross of St. George awarded to the Special Manchurian Detachment (S.M.D.) of Ataman Grigory Semenov during the Russian Civil War (1917–1922). Originals are virtually unobtainable; this reproduction captures the historic look for study, display, film, or reenactment.

• Reverse: Imperial cypher style, as on period pieces.

• Ribbon: Traditional black-orange St. George ribbon (as shown).

Notes

• Modern replica, not an original period award.
