Here is a close up of the center piece. At somepoint this badge had a "ding" or a scuff on the helmet on the likeness of Nevsky that the recipient attempted to buff/polish out.

While we are talking about the Order of A. Nevsky, I thought that I would repost the one I have in my collection.

Here is the reverse.

Hiya Patrick! We had some fun back in the day, eh? Hard to believe it's been around 10 years, no?

Hit me up if you want some more stuff, I got spares out the wazoo. (Not Nevsky's, of course) Also have a connection on research and a research-friendly forum.

Cheers, E
